Apr 02, 2009 22:45 | #1 I was just reading over a very interesting article about the difference between 16 bit and 8 bit images. So I checked my camera (50D) and saw that it can shoot in 14bit. If i'm not mistaken the camera will only shoot 14 bit when shooting raw and if its jpg then it can only shoot in 8 bit? Is this correct? 6D; canon 85mm 1.8, Tamron 24-70mm VC, Canon 135L Canon 70-200L is ii

Is this correct? If so, are their cameras that shoot 16 bit images? http://www.photoshopessentials.com/essentials/16-bit/ Thanks for the article. That was an interesting read. I'm new to RAW and I found this pretty insightful.

I think it's interesting that the author had to use such unrealistically aggressive edits to "prove" the worth of 16-bit editing.

Process in RAW, tweak in PS, you'll be fine. All RAW adjustments are effectively in 16 bit mode.

But I think there is an unnecessary amount of hype about it. IMO the 8-bit beach picture took that punishment surprisingly well, actually.
