color mode exercise

 Bitmap

     Bitmap has only 2 colors which makes it the smallest file, 2.8k. The output is 300 and 50% threshold which 2 colors will always appear as black and white.






 Grey Scaled

    The Gray Scaled is the second smallest file by 22.9k. It's a little higher because grey has 256 shades same as RGB.
 Indexed Color

  Indexed color is limited to 4-12 and its 9. The file size is 59.4k a lot higher because it includes a lot more colors in Indexed.
RGB

  It's the highest file size by 2.22m because its the normal mode of the photo.  It has 16.7 million colors to create the image in this mode.
