Supported pixel formats
The pixel format defines the number of bits of memory associated with one
pixel of data. The format also defines the order of the color components
within a single pixel of data.
Note: PixelFormat48bppRGB, PixelFormat64bppARGB,
and PixelFormat64bppPARGB use 16 bits per color component (channel).
APAS/Wizard can read 16-bits-per-channel images, but such images are
converted to an 8-bits-per-channel format for processing, displaying, and
saving. Each 16-bit color channel can hold a value in the range 0 through
2^13.

Description |
| Format16bppArgb1555 |
The pixel format is 16 bits per pixel. The color
information specifies 32,768 shades of color, of which 5 bits
are red, 5 bits are green, 5 bits are blue, and 1 bit is alpha. |
| Format16bppGrayScale |
The pixel format is 16 bits per pixel. The color
information specifies 65536 shades of gray. |
| Format16bppRgb555 |
Specifies that the format is 16 bits per pixel;
5 bits each are used for the red, green, and blue components.
The remaining bit is not used. |
| Format16bppRgb565 |
Specifies that the format is 16 bits per pixel;
5 bits are used for the red component, 6 bits are used for the
green component, and 5 bits are used for the blue component. |
| Format1bppIndexed |
Specifies that the pixel format is 1 bit per
pixel and that it uses indexed color. The color table therefore
has two colors in it. |
| Format24bppRgb |
Specifies that the format is 24 bits per pixel;
8 bits each are used for the red, green, and blue components. |
| Format32bppArgb |
Specifies that the format is 32 bits per pixel;
8 bits each are used for the alpha, red, green, and blue
components. |
| Format32bppPArgb |
Specifies that the format is 32 bits per pixel;
8 bits each are used for the alpha, red, green, and blue
components. The red, green, and blue components are
premultiplied according to the alpha component. |
| Format32bppRgb |
Specifies that the format is 32 bits per pixel;
8 bits each are used for the red, green, and blue components.
The remaining 8 bits are not used. |
| Format48bppRgb |
Specifies that the format is 48 bits per pixel;
16 bits each are used for the red, green, and blue components. |
| Format4bppIndexed |
Specifies that the format is 4 bits per pixel,
indexed. |
| Format64bppArgb |
Specifies that the format is 64 bits per pixel;
16 bits each are used for the alpha, red, green, and blue
components. |
| Format64bppPArgb |
Specifies that the format is 64 bits per pixel;
16 bits each are used for the alpha, red, green, and blue
components. The red, green, and blue components are
premultiplied according to the alpha component. |
| Format8bppIndexed |
Specifies that the format is 8 bits per pixel,
indexed. The color table therefore has 256 colors in it. |
