# PixelFormatConverter.QuantizationTo8bOffset Property 
 
Gets/sets the offset on which intensity of a pixel will be calculated.
 
**Namespace:** [Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/N_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Transforms.htm.md)
 **Assembly:** Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)
 
## Syntax
  
```
Public Property QuantizationTo8bOffset As Integer
```
 
```csharp
public int QuantizationTo8bOffset { get; set; }
```
 
### Property Value
Offset on which intensity of a pixel will be calculated.
 
## Remarks
  
Any pixel intensity that is below the offset value is set to black. Any pixel intensity that is above `(QuantizationTo8bOffset + (2^QuantizationTo8bScale))` is set to white. All remaining pixels therefore lie within the range 0 to 2^scale.
