Bit Planes Unblocked =link= -

This produces 8 images, bitplane_0.png (LSB) through bitplane_7.png (MSB). Bit planes are the binary layers of an image. Higher planes define the scene; lower planes hold micro‑details and noise. Understanding them unlocks compression, steganography, and advanced image processing. No special hardware, no payment — just a shift of perspective (and a right‑shift operator).

Row 1: 0, 0, 1, 1 → black, black, white, white. bit planes unblocked

[ 12, 200, 55, 3 ] [ 255, 128, 0, 77 ] [ 200, 10, 210, 99 ] [ 33, 180, 4, 245 ] 12 = 00001100 200 = 11001000 55 = 00110111 3 = 00000011 … and so on. This produces 8 images, bitplane_0

Look only at the leftmost bit of each byte. This produces 8 images
