Continuing.... It seems to me that if we utilize the largest dataset available, we could extrapolate more than what we can see and reformat it so that we can, as in the image attached.

Thanks David. So there is more data in 16bit 4:4:4 than in RAW. The second question is about the visible spectrum, using LANSAT as an example of how one uses more information to combine "layers" of visual data to see what we can't normally see. See the example attached to bring out information with modification of a visual image by manipulating an 8 bit black and white image. The second image is a 8 bit color HD image manipulated to show better the edges of a tumor, or the vascularity of a tissue.

Couple of new questions for all. So it seems that there is more data contained in a 16 bit RAW signal than in 16 bit 4:4:4 uncompressed signal. Questions: 1) If one were interested to use visible light to capture what we CAN'T see, which of the 2 contains more data points? 2) Would it be possible to use the information in the data set captured that we can't see, and reformat it so that we CAN see it? Kind of like what LANSAT 8 does with weather imaging that can reformat the combined RGB and multiple infrared (near-infrared, short wave, thermal infrared) channels and "see" through clouds, identify rock types in mountains, population centers and so on? Or what snakes, eagles or some deep-sea lifeforms "see" with enhanced visible light range capabilities.
