Our test case
=============
Let us consider a simple color reduction method. Using the unsigned char C and C++ type for matrix item storing a channel of pixel may have up to 256 different values. For a three channel image this can allow the formation of way too many colors (16 million to be exact). Working with so many color shades may give a heavy blow to our algorithm performance. However, sometimes it is enough to work with a lot less of them to get the same final result.

However, sometimes it is enough to work with a lot less of them to get the same final result.
In this cases it's common that we make a *color space reduction*. This means that we divide the color space current value with a new input value to end up with fewer colors. For instance every value between zero and nine takes the new value zero, every value between ten and nineteen the value ten and so on.
