If you mean the Windows desktop color depth, yes- you will see noticeable grainy/banding in true color images. If you pull up something with many shades of a single color, you’ll see the color banding at 16 bit that will be much smoother in 32-bit.

RGB mode images are made of three color channels. An 8‑bit per pixel RGB image has 256 possible values for each channel which means it has over 16 million possible color values.

Camera sensors typically store data in 12 or 14 bits per channel. So logically speaking, as most of you already know, you are throwing away a good chunk of information when you convert your image to 8 bits per channel. If you remember from earlier a 8-bit image (bpc) has a color depth of 24 bits per pixel (bpp).

Bit Depth, Technically Speaking When a camera shoots 8-bit, it is recording 2^8 unique colors per channel, which adds up to 256 total. 256 shades of green, 256 shades of blue, and 256 shades of red, all mixed up together to form an image.

Like 24-bit color, 32-bit color supports 16,777,215 colors but has an alpha channel it can create more convincing gradients, shadows, and transparencies. With the alpha channel 32-bit color supports 4,294,967,296 color combinations. As you increase the support for more colors, more memory is required.

While 36 bits per pixel is technically the “best option,” there is currently no gaming or movie content that is more than 24 bits per pixel. Not every HDMI cable or set-up supports a color depth higher than 24 bits per pixel.

The color depth setting indicates the number of bits used per pixel to represent on-screen colors. Xbox One consoles can output signals at 24 bits per pixel (8-bit), 30 bits per pixel (10-bit) and 36 bits per pixel (12-bit), and while higher is often better, don’t mindlessly crank up the value to the maximum.

Bits Per Pixel or BPP is a value used to calculate the best video bitrate for live streams. We can calculate this using the desired video resolution (e.g. 1280×720) and frame rate (e.g. 30 fps). Generally it’s considered that a BPP of 0.1 is the sweet spot for calculating bitrate. This is where BPP comes in handy.

Each pixel typically consists of 8 bits (1 byte) for a Black and White (B&W) image or 24 bits (3 bytes) for a color image– one byte each for Red, Green, and Blue. 8 bits represents 28 = 256 tonal levels (0-255).

Kilobytes are the smallest amount (think ounces), Megabytes a medium amount (think pounds) and Gigabytes the largest (think tons). [Of course, pixels have no actual weight.] The type of file format you use to save your picture affects the amount of storage space it uses.
