[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 36418, member: 1061"] This pic. If you don't know the difference, odds are you're not editing in 16-bit anyway...so nevermind. 8-bit is capable of producing about 16.8 million colors, which is more than the human eye can see anyway. 16-bit is in the trillions. Some photographers (including myself) edit in 16-bit mode, and then convert images to 8-bit when publishing on the internet. Web browsers are not capable of interpreting 16-bit images and the colors end up look somewhat drab and grayish. The major advantage of 16-bit editing is additional flexibility, particularly with color gradients and image re-sizing: [ATTACH=CONFIG]6237._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]6238._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
