How many images can be produced by all permutations of 24-bit 640x480 JPEG? Is this is the maximum number of images on 24 bit 640x480 frame and we can not have more images?

(2^24)^(640x480) 2 choices per bit 24 bits 640 times 480 pixels ^ is exponent ~~ edit to reply to comments~~ Yes, this is the maximum number of images. Yes, compression would decrease this number. More basic example, to clarify: Let's calculate how many images can be 1x2 using 2 bit color. In 2 bit color, each pixel must be one of 4 colors. In my imaginary world, here, the choices are Black, White, Green and Yellow: BWGY So, for pixel 1,1, there are 4 choices. And for pixel 1,2, there are four choices. So here are all the possible pictures: You can calculate this by (number of choices) raised to the (number of pixels), so in this case 4^2 = 16. Let's say we wanted to increase the width of this picture (by making it a 1x3 image. ooh: widescreen!). For each of the original 16 pictures, you can make 4 new pictures, one for each of the color choices. So now, you have 64 pictures. Which still fits our formula: (choices)^(pixels) 4^3 = 64. Another note: if you are dealing with x bits, the number of color choices will always be 2^x | |||||||||||||||||
