Which of the following statements about sampling is incorrect?

• Sampling is a process that can be used to compress an image.
• Sampling is a process for turning an analog image into a digital image.
• When smaller samples are used, the resulting file will require fewer bytes.
• Each pixel of the analog image is coded as one color, and cannot be more than one color.

Back

When smaller samples are used, the resulting file will require fewer bytes.

Back

Lossless compression will usually reduce a file size less than Lossy compression.
