This is a page dedicated to such knowledge I possess or rediscovered through encountering the same problems. I can't guarantee that someone does or doesn't hold a patent on the knowledge recorded here. Terminology Bits per Pixel (bpp, BpP) The number of bits that are used for a single pixel in total.
