Uncle Mez Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Hey everyone, For the very first time I've started a design project using 16bits into the color profile. I don't know if it's me but output is of a great quality. Yet the file is huge (42meg for a flyer A5 size). So I would like to know more about 8/16/32bits. Please make it really clear and not too technical to understand. Thanks in advance Quote Never be the Same Again ! ---Dell Optiplex 5090 SFFIntel Core i5-10500T @2.30GHz with 12GiB 2666MHz DDR4Intel UHD Graphics 630 for 10th Generation M.2 2280, 512 GB, PCIe NVMe Gen3 x4, Class 40 SSDWindows 11 Pro x64 22H2 + LibreOffice 7.5.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted May 14, 2018 Staff Share Posted May 14, 2018 Hi Arnaud, What format are you exporting out of Affinity as? The difference between 8, 16 and 32 bit is the amount of tones/shades available for each colour . This link explains it really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I suggest Understanding Bit Depth, one of the excellent Cambridge in Colour Color Management & Printing tutorials, plus the Posterization Tutorial linked to in that first article. The 3 part tutorial on color management is also worth a read.
