Abstract
A discrete intensity transformation changes all the intensities of an image in some systematic way, leaving locations unchanged. In a 1-bit image the intensities are just Black or White. Reversal changes Black to White and White to Black, and can be done in a GUI. 1-bit images with the same pixel-count constitute a Boolean algebra, and hence have 16 Boolean functions. A program to combine two images by Boolean functions is given, with examples. Images with bit-depth 4, 8, or 24 can be reduced to 1-bit by standard operations.
