[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 303970, member: 12496"] FWIW, zoom an image in your editor to about 1000% size or more, and you will see the pixels. The pixels are of varied colors (which is what shows detail), but any one of them is only one color. It is a color sample of that tiny area of the picture. This zoom is an extremely important thing to do once, to comprehend what is a pixel. Because, thinking of the image in terms of pixels is the only way to understand digital images. That is all there is, pixels. I suppose if we built a one pixel camera, that properly exposed pixel ought to come out middle gray. :) [/QUOTE]
