This is a very interesting discussion, wich I have
been following with great interest.
I have a question that relates to this
topic.
How does bit depth ( 8 bit vs 16 bit etc.) relate
to all this.We are told that 8 bit color can give us about 16,7 million colors
and 16 bit something much more (I don't wont even try to do the calculations).I
know this is only in theory but lets say you have a 8 bit image in ProPhoto RGB
and one thats 16 bit in the same colorspace, is there a difference between
them as to how much part of the space they use?
What I'm trying to say is does a high bit image
make a better use of a large colorspace than the 8 bit one?
Am I missing some point here or misunderstanding
something?
Thanks again for very intersting
discussion.
Best regards.
