I noticed that when I open a 16bit ppm in GIMP 2.8, the file opens without the 'gimp can't handle 16bit, it will loose data, etc...' notification. But if I open a tiff version of the very same raw file, the notification does pop up. My understanding is that current GIMP 2.8 can't handle 16bit, regardless of file format. Is that right?
View 6 RepliesI am well aware that several formats cannot handle layers or transparencys. GIMP however seems hell bent to remind me of this EVERY SINGLE TIME I TRY TO SAVE A FILE (and even pops up a second "Oh, these are the current defaults, are they ok?" type dialog on some formats.)
Is there a switch hidden in GIMP that reads something like:
"When I click Save, assume I'm smarter than a plastic fork and know what I'm doing and just save the file in whatever default format has been requested like I told you to and do not attempt to engage me in playing 20 questions."
using ANY tool on a picture taken from a new 16 Megapixel camera crashes Gimp INSTANTLY! so Gimp can't handle those or something?

pasting new layers happens so often it's getting a bit redundant to always move my cursor over to the Layers panel, right-click and select New Layer (just the way I have been doing it) to get around the Floating Selection behaviour.
I'm wondering if there is a keyboard shorcut, or if I can change the default behaviour to automatically paste it as a new layer and not as a floating selection, or if there is some other trick people here like using to save time.
As stated I'm using Mac OSX (ML) with GIMP 2.8.3.
I like to work in a real 16bit (per channel) RGB mode.
When I create a new RGB image with 16bit there are only 8bit values (0-255 and not 0-1023) in the color picker and in my info panel.
Is PS CS2 just working internally with 16bit and doesn't provide manual access to all values?
I'm trying to edit some scans of some drawings in Photoshop CS3, but I can't edit much. I think it might be a 16 bit TIFF, but I can't change to 8 bit. The option is completely grayed out, along with many others.

I'm using CS 6 is on a Mac running OS 10.8.5.
I scanned an image using Image Capture which turned it into a tiff. I opened the tiff in Photoshop and discovered that Filter Gallery was grayed out.
I opened an older Photoshop tiff and looked for differences. The older one, wherein filter gallery was available, was an eight bits per channel document. The new one is 16 bits per channel. When I changed the new one to eight bits per channel, Filter Gallery became available.
If my (extremely limited) understanding of the technology is correct, there is more information in 16 bits per channel and hence presumably a richer quality image. On general principle of course I'd prefer not to lose any richness. Is there some way I can get Photoshop to give me access to the filter gallery in a 16 bits per channel mode?
I've used photoshop to paint for many years (I'm a production artist for children's television) and never had this kind of thing before. It could be a total coincidence, but it seemed only to get like this since I upgraded to Production premium CS6.
I have the newest Nvidia drivers, the latest photoshop and production suite updates. I've tried turning off GPU acceleration and I've calibrated my monitors and cintiq several times using the Spyder 3 Elite calibration tools. I've created 8bit, 16bit and 32bit images and the problem persists no matter what. Other stats:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1 20120808.r.519 2012/08/08:21:00:00) x64
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit

This is a 16bit image saved as a jpeg, but still a relatively accurate example of what I see in photoshop. In fact it looks better here. It was created using a low opacity brush with hardness set to zero.
When I use the 8bit mode in PsCS3, I notice some banding when using tools such as gradient map.When using 16bit mode, the banding is not so noticeable but it seems to increase file size.So which bit mode should I use for creating images for the web?
View 4 Replies View Relatedinvolving the choice of creating a new image with 8bit or 16bit color depth.
If I'm about to create a new logo or image of some sort my first impulse is to use the highest of the 2 (8 or 16).
I know it has to do with the amount of color information in each pixel so I grab at the highest number... is that impulse reasonable? Striving for the highest quality? Or is there a point of diminishing "perceivable" results?
I have also noticed that some 3rd party filters do not work when in the 16bit mode so that "might" be a drawback I suppose.
Also - I can set my monitor to 32bit color - and do - yet PS stops at 16bit... what is the reason for this please?
Are all functions of elements 11 available for use with 16 bit tiff files or do they need to be converted to 8 bit as in elements 10?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm currently working on a User Interface for a Wall Panel, but this Wall Panel has only 16bit (65.000) colors, i've tried a lot of different things but can't find a way to get smooth gradients, my images always have gradient banding.
I was wondering if there is a way to tell photoshop to work in 16bit mode ? (not 16bit by channel) so that the colors selected for the gradients would always be contained in the 65.000 available colors.
For the moment, the only way to get a 16bit image is when saving a file as a bitmap and selecting 16bit. But everytime i do this, gradient banding immediatly appear. Maybe photoshop bitmap encoder is just not that good for 16 bit mode bitmaps .
This week we are working with 16 bit DPX. We import that material into the media library as 16 bit float with the 16i_to_16f color transform. That media then goes on to a 16 bit float timeline. We then have to add a 16f_to_16i to get the image looking ok on the monitor again.
We seem to be having an issue when performing a resize on the material. There ends up artifacting around the hightlights. Changing the filter and filter values seems to have a better visual effect, but we're concerned that we are effecting other parts of the image.
Is there something else we should be applying to better map the values on the highlights?
How to do this all at once. I did something similar a few years ago, but can't remember enough to even get myself going ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just had to do a complete re-install of my CorelSuite X4 following the addition of a new hard-drive.
I now have the situation in Corel Photo-paint where -
1 I open a grey-scale image (.jpg).
2 I paste (as a new object) an RGB colour item (a previously created .cpt file) onto the grey-scale image.
3 I then "Convert to 16Bit grey-scale" in order to change the whole new image to grey-scale, but the pasted object is being automatically flattened into the image and I can no longer work on that object independently.
I never had this before, as I was always able to convert to grey-scale and the "pasted object" would remain with the mask outlined and still allow me to work on it.
I am using a windows CS6 Bridge => Camera Raw (8.2) => CS6 Photoshop (13.0.1 x64) to try to open various 16-bit raw files (.dng, .nef, .arw) which Bridge sees as 16-bit, but only an 8-bit version makes it into photoshop.
How do I convince Camera Raw to do its job?
Lightroom (4.4) is able to export a 16-bit .psd which sort-of-works but shouldn't be necessary.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a lot of RAW+JPG pictures (shot as RAW+JPG or previously converted from RAW to JPG with other programs), when importing them to Lightroom, I can choose to treat them as the same picture or as separate pictures.
At first glance, they should of cause be treated as the same picture (because they are the same picture), and they do indeed appear as "RAW+JPG" in LR, but how do I:
- View the JPG? (not critical, but it would be nice to be able to compare the JPG with the LR results)- Add metadata (tags, title, caption, etc.) to the JPG file and not just the RAW file? (I have enabled "write metadata to file")
If treated as separate pictures, they behave as one would expect, but it is not that convenient to have two of the same pictures side-by-side.
- Can I auto-stack RAWs and JPGs?- Can I write metadata (tags, title, caption, etc.) to the entire stack in one go?
1. I need JPG versions of my pictures for e-mail, web, viewing on my TV etc.
2. I REALLY don't want to be dependent on LR in the future. If I have spend hours and hours fine tuning my pictures, and only have them saved as RAW, I would need LR till the day I die. And it doesn't end there, my kids, my grand kids and so on, would also need LR to view the pictures (at lease in the quality I would like them to be viewed).

For editing a jpeg file (e.g., sharpening), first I create a duplicate layer. Now, I have two layers: Layer 1 and Background layers. Editing is done only on the duplicate layer. That's how I am able to keep the original jpeg file. When editing is completed on Layer 1, I got to save the edited image. Before saving it, what should I do with the Background layer? Should I delete it or merge/flatten with Layer 1?
