Black and white has gray scale, and you still need some number of bits per pixel (if you are talking about pixels), unless you want a monotone image. [correction] I stated this slightly wrong...what was meant was number of pixels does not mean the same as number of M bytes, unless you are talking about 8 bit pixels. For B&W, that would be 256 gray tones...if that is sufficient for you, then, yes, a 1.8M pixel would be 1.8M bytes... If you wanted 12 bits/pixel then it would 2.7M bytes, and give you 4096 gray tones....
