8/19/2023 0 Comments Photoshop convert image to 16 bitI also understand the concepts of banding and posterization which can occur in 8 bit images when you have colour gradients (like a varying blue sky) but are very much less likely in 16 bit images. I haven't tried this out yet but I have read on a few web pages now that you can send only 8 bit rgb data to an ink jet printer to guarantee colour accuracy. I know the human eye cannot see all the colours an 8 bit image can produce, let alone the colours a 16 bit image can produce.Īlso, afaik, if outputing a jpeg from a 16 bit image file, the jpeg data will be only 8 bits anyway because jpeg format does not support 16 bit data. On my monitor I cannot see the difference at all when I compare a given photo processed from raw to final image in 16 bits and its 8 bit version. Now this is where I start scratching my head I can then continue applying adjustment layers and/or filters like usual to the smart object and then save the final image with its layers as a 16 bit. The workaround in Exxl to be able to continue editing in PSE in 16 bit mode is to simply use the Render command in Exxl on the opened image file to create a document in 8 bit mode with the original image file being converted to a smart object retaining the original 16 bit data. Perform global and/or local adjustments in PSE to final image. By default PSE opens the raw file in 16 bit mode.ģ. Develop/process raw files in ACR in 16 bit mode.Ģ. A few tools and commands/features support 16 bit, the rest are 8 bit. PSE on its own has limited support for 16 bit editing. Reading through the Exxl documentation it describes a workaround which enables all edits in PSE to be in 16 bit mode. I currently use Photoshop Elements 2020 with its ACR and the Elements+ plug-in to process and edit my raw files.Īfter a recent discussion in another thread where the Elements XXL plug-in was mentioned, I have since downloaded Elements XXL for its trial period.
