If it does, you know the issue is that the color range exceeds what an 8-bit file can process cleanly. I have a feeling that may be what's happening here (for whatever that's worth).On the other hand, if the posterization is present in the RAW file when opened in 16-bit mode, I'd say there's an issue with the camera; the digital/analog converter, or the sensor, being the two most likely culprits, because there's no way on earth that color range is blowing out, much less blowing that badly, with 12 or 14-bits to work with.....</blockquote>
