The complete bit depth tests

[Daniel D. Teoli Jr.]

Years ago, Perry poo-pooed one of my BW photos I put up here. He said it was only 8 bit and not 16 bit. I was supposed to do some tests to show the difference between 8 bit and 16 bit, but never got around it. Well, I made time today to do it and here are the bit tests for:

8 bit BW JPEG

16 bit BW JPEG

8 bit BW TIFF

16 bit BW TIFF

24 bit color JPEG

48 bit color JPEG

24 bit color TIFF

48 bit color TIFF

All 15 collection of tests are here:

If you just want the original scan group with no adjustments, it is here:

And here is an addendum to show crop magnification of the original scans above.

But these tests are all for still photos. You will have to test how things are with cine' software. Although still photography and cinematography are brothers and sisters...they are not identical twins.
