Not sure I follow, a byte is a data type and does not have a base, it just represents a maximum of 256 possible combinations. You can represent these 256 possible values in base 10 as I just did by saying it has a maximum of 256 combinations, or in hex by saying it has a maximum of FF combinations, or in binary 11111111. As hex is base 16, it can represent a maximum of 16 unique configurations for a single character 0-9-A-F, in binary you require 4 bits to represent 16 different combinations, thus a byte can be represented in hex using 2 characters, 3 in decimal. The maximum value of 255 in any channel in an 8Bit Per Channel surface format arises from each channel's range values being zero-based values, so instead of being 1-256, they are 0-255.

[edit] Well I didn't see the 2nd page, ah well.

Technically yes... A byte isn't a numeral system but Jason in his document was trying to explain 256 possible combinations thru it because it was n00b oriented... Right?... Jason?... Well at least I think he was... I'm not sure... You can ask him if you want...

yeah - more or less - Dark Coder posted before seeing the second page - I don't think he was having a major objection to the document or anything - hardly - I think he saw page one - and not our following page 2 - that's all.

My "wording" isn't always spot on - I'm self taught - and I was saying "boolean" way wrong for years. I was practicing 1st normal form, 2nd normal form, 3rd, and even rarely 4th and 5th normal form before I knew what it was called - I just did it because it made sense.

That document I actually wrote for a bunch of college students all taking medicine - soon to be doctors and scietists - because they were taking a course for bioinformatics. (Study of Genes, and using computers to extract data such as patterns in genome arrangements etc. and between different and like species) Well...

They use Perl for this because its a great language for doing text manipulation... "ABDJABCASFG.." <---sample of what their data looks like.

Well - that document was created out of necessity, my girl friend of the moment was in that class and I wrote the document for her and for the class to share.

It was what they needed to "get it" and helped them understand alot of their assignments going forward and I got a lot of thanks for writing that little doc.

I tried to be spot on - I definately conveyed a few key points they were having trouble understanding....

So... that's my story and I'm sticking with it
