bpp (colour depth)

Hello,
    
A year ago, I asked about a a simple 'rebol only' way to know the 'bpp' of an image (colour depth).
    
Recently, I found this interesting article :
http://www.hsc.csu.edu.au/ipt/mm_systems/3289/image_file_size.htm
    
Based on that article, it is possible to estimate the bpp of an image like :
    
img: load %image.png
sze: size? %image.png
x: img/size/x
y: img/size/y
bpp: ((sze * (8 * 1024)) / (x * y)) / 1000

I would at least replace sze: size? %image.png by sze: length? img
This way you get the size of the image as not compressed. The file size is not relevant as we have no idea how much it has been compressed.

I red and quick tested in night-session time on uncompressed picture (with half-closed eyes (and brain)... ;) ;) .
Thanks for the precision/correction.
