16 bit and 8 bit

[herschel mair <herschelmair@xxxxxxxxx>]

There is some debate concerning working in 8 bit versus working in 16 bit and saving as 8 bit.

 

I must say that after working in 16 bit all along and having to put up with the time everything takes, I have just done some serious testing comparing images that I worked in 8 bit all along and images that I did the same stuff to in 16 bit and then, at the end changed to 8 bit and saved.

I can discern no difference in image quality.

 

From now on it's 8 bit all the way untill I can print 16 bit or untill anyone I work for can use 16 bit.

Greetings from Norfolk, UK

Nice to have comments on my work.

I agree that a 12 M file would be a good starting point, BUT when that is
compressed to the size for submission there is still a loss of detail.
I agree that I should have rotated the picture a little anti clockwise, and
that the green is perhaps a bit off in colour in the foreground, but the
field and bush in front of the building are a good representation of the
original.
I cannot agree that there is dead space on the left hand side, the building
needs to be defined, and addition of a background here would distract the
eys on entry to the picture.
Yes, the sky could be improved by addition of some soft clouds.
These are my thoughts, your further views welcome

Richard.
