<p>When the pixel cache is initialized, pixels are scaled from whatever bit depth they originated from to that required by the pixel cache. For example, a 1-channel 1-bit monochrome PBM image is scaled to a 4 channel 8-bit RGBA image, if you are using the Q8 version of ImageMagick, and 16-bit RGBA for the Q16 version. You can determine which version you have with the <a href="../www/command-line-options.html#version">‑version</a> option: </p>
-<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick> </span><span class='crtin'>identify -version</span><span class='crtout'>Version: ImageMagick 6.6.3-9 2010-08-08 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org</span></p>

<p>As you can see, the convenience of the pixel cache sometimes comes with a trade-off in storage (e.g. storing a 1-bit monochrome image as 16-bit RGBA is wasteful) and speed (i.e. storing the entire image in memory is generally slower than accessing one scanline of pixels at a time). In most cases, the benefits of the pixel cache typically outweigh any disadvantages.</p>
