Color Space, Color Depth and Color Profile
Color Space defines the number of colors available for a pixel. In sRGB Color Space, at 8 bits/rgb channel each pixel records 256 shades of any color. It’s Color Depth (tone value) range is from 0,0,0 (black) to 255, 255, 255 (white). This produces about 17 million colors (16. 777, 216). It’s said that the human eye can see 10 million colors. Do you need a color space with values outside of the visual range?
A Color Profile calibrates a device to display a color.
Photography Terms: Pixels, Pixels Per Inch and Dots Per Inch
A Pixel is a color element defined by color and tone.
PPI (pixels per inch) is commonly referred to as dots per inch (DPI) when talking about a digital image.
DPI (dots per inch) is a carryover from the printing industry putting CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) dots on paper to represent a color.
