The recorded image is made up of 1200 pixels per inch (ppi) and each pixel can have a depth of up to 36 bits. The resulting image can potentially have millions of colors. An image is saved for use in another program when you drag-and-drop it, save it as a file and insert the file, or copy it, then paste it into an open document.
