What is a BIT? - ANSWERS--The smallest unit of information consisting

to each piece of equipment you use (they map one gamut to another;
and the ICC (or International Color Consortium) profile is usually
shipped by the equipment manufacturer).
What does "photomacrograph" or "macrophotograph" mean? -
ANSWERS--Close-ups that are life-size or larger. Images through
microscopes are "photomicrographs."
