Color Depth Options

For information on how to access effects, see Accessing Effects.

The individual Color Depth task pages allow you to change the attributes associated with a Color Depth effect. The preview in the task page shows the different effects as you change the options.

Color Depth Options Description Table

The following table describes each of the Color Depth options along with its use.

Option	Description & Use
None	Deselects the color conversion effects. When new captures are made, none of the effects in the group will be applied to the image.
Monochrome	Changes the captured color image to monochrome (black and white). Lighten or darken the image using the Intensity threshold for white slider, or by typing a new value in the % box located to the right of the slider. Use the preview image to see the effect of the effect. When the effect is set correctly, select OK.
Halftone	Changes the captured color image to a dithered monochrome (black and white) image. This conversion effect can be useful for printing to low-resolution printers or screens.
Grayscale	Changes the captured color image to grayscale. This conversion effect can give a "smooth" look to printed copies of the image, when used with some combinations of layout software and printer hardware
Custom Color Depth	The Color Depth options allow you to customize the color depth, dithering, and palette features of an image capture. You get the best possible image quality by using a unique, Optimized palette. To make sure a bitmap has a unique palette, open an image from a file that is 8 bits per pixel (256 colors) or fewer. This file contains a unique palette for the image. By default, SnagIt loads the palette that is stored in the file and relates it to the bitmap in memory. Or let SnagIt make an optimized palette for the image by decreasing a 24-bit image (16 million colors) to 8 bits per pixel (256 colors). Images with optimized palettes may exhibit some palette shift. Use the preview image to see the effect of the effect. When the effect is set correctly, select OK. Continue with Custom Color Depth Effect.
