As a practical example, when you edit a picture tonally the result is much smoother graduation. Cheers Geoff -----Original Message----- Subject: [Leica] Colour depth question Howdy everyone. Simple question I grew up being told that 24 bit was the photographic standard. Beyond that the eye couldn't tell the difference. But now video cards have 32 bit or more and scanners even have up to 96 bit. Is it possible to tell between 24 and higher bit rate coulour depth? What changed?
