30-bit color support / EIZO ColorEdge 2730

Is it possible that Affinity does not support higher bit depth on Windows?

Photoshop has a "30 Bit Display" setting unter "Edit" > "Preferences" > "Performance" > "Graphics Processor Settings" section > "Advanced Settings..." button, how can a user check and/or enable this?

Wrong forum!? Go to Adobe and ask your question there!

Correct forum -  i asked about Affinity 30-bit color support - please read that correctly!

I guess you may need to check 'HDR' with F1 key

I#m not sure we mean the same thing?

I mean you may try enable HDR in '32-bit Preview' panel at the right bottom, if you use default studio layout.

Bad news - thanks 😉

Just to summarize for those who didn't go read the other thread.  30-bit color support has nothing at all to do with HDR.  30-bit color is most often used by professional photographers and video editors for precision color grading.  You need special hardware (both monitor and graphic card) for 30-bit color output as well as support from the software app.  The Affinity software suite does not currently have 30-bit color support.

Unfortunately it is related (mixed up) in Photo. To utilize more that 8 bit color channel depth, you need to activate HDR mode, and use RGB/32 document format. You don’t need to use higher than normal brightness in hdr mode.

Rendering of RGB/16 documents without HDR mode is still capped to 8 bit color depth.

What Photo is missing: 10 bit mode with RGB/16.
