What is the BMP format for Gray scale Images (especially for 16 bit per pixel) ? The wikipedia just talks about colour images for bmp. Update: Just for an update and information for future visitors, I am going for PGM as this is uncompressed and can support 16 bit gray-scale. Another option was to use PNG , but it compresses the data (which is not what I want) as discussed here . Also note that the image may appear distorted, since most of the monitors support 256 colors and not 4096 for 16 bit. So the Image will be saturated. It was though surprising to know that BMP is almost helpless in case of Gray-scale for 16 bit images. Thanks for people who helped me understand the issue.
