Gray Scale
From Nikonians Wiki - FAQs, Photo Glossary, Good Photo Locations, Help
An image made up of varying tones of black and white. Grayscale images are distinct from black-and-white images, which in the context of computer imaging are images with only two colors, black and white; grayscale images have many shades of gray in between. The 256 gray levels system divides the gray scale into 256 sections with black at 0 and white at 255.
