2003-12-04 Thread graywolf
12bits per pixels give you a bit depth of 36bits (12 x 3 colors), but since modern computers are module-8 (bits/byte) they pad it up to 48bits (16bpp). -- graywolf http://graywolfphoto.com "You might as well accept people as they are, you are not going to be able to change them anyway."

If I remember correctly from the StarkistD's specs the raw file format can be saved in the 12 bit mode. I'm familiar with 8 and 16, but not 12. I know 8 gives you 24ppg and 16 gives you 48ppg with some functions in photoshop disabled. Anyone that can enlighten me as to what you wind u

Hello, is it possible that Pentax uses 16 bit because of the new multi exposure feature? To sum up the 12 bit data without loosing Information, you need more then 12 bits. If yes, it could be possible to reduce noise with multi exposures on static subjects, this is the same process which is used w
