CSharp - Bits per Pixel or bit depth in a Human Readable Format for an image

Here's how to get human readable bit depth or color depth for an image in C#.

Note: This is measure in bits not bytes, therefore the denominator is 1000 not 1024.

You can get bit depth using Windows API Code Pack, but understand JPEG do not use a color map, so it consistently returns 24 / 3 = 8bpp.

Update - Remove LINQ dependency  use getting fast integer extraction
