The product supports a wide variety of raster formats, including binary, grayscale In computing, a grayscale or greyscale digital image is an image in which the value of each pixel is a single sample. Displayed images of this sort are typically composed of shades of gray, varying from black at the weakest intensity to white at the strongest, though in and true color (1) Specifically, refers to 16,777,216 colors (24-bit color).
