The Convert menu contains commands for altering the format of your image.  Available options 

are: 

 

•  8-bit Grayscale 

•  16-bit Grayscale 

•  24-bit RGB 

•  48-bit RGB 

 

Typically, most images will be 24-bit RGB.  If you just want black and white images and are 
concerned about having small file sizes, you may want to convert your color image to a grayscale 

one.  Since the available palette of colors is reduced, so is the file size.  48-bit images are high-

quality images.  You may not notice too much of a difference though, because 24-bit images 

generally are good enough to make quality prints.  Note that not all of the editing options in 

PhotoStudio are active when working with a 48-bit image. 

 
The Convert menu also lets you separate an image into various color channels.  Remember our 

discussions so far on RGB images?  Well, you can separate your images into each color channel, 

red, green, and blue.  New images will be created for each channel. 

 

Now you know that you can separate an image into distinctive color channels, and you’re 
probably guessing that you can also combine them.  Well, good guess!  When you combine 

images, you must select which image will be used for each respective channel.
