Transform Bit Depth
On the Advanced tab, click Transform Bit Depth to increase or decrease the input and output bit depth. The following options are displayed.
From the Input Bit Depth drop-down menu, select the actual bit depth of the image you are viewing.
From the Output Bit Depth drop-down menu, select the bit depth that you want to view the image at.
For most Display Manager System uses, keep the bit depths at 10-bit input and 10-bit output or 8-bit input and 8-bit output.
For .tif images, 8-bit input and 8-bit output are common. You may, however want to use 8-bit input and 10-bit output. The bit depth is automatically set to 8-bit input and 8-bit output for 8-bit .tif and 16-bit input and 16-bit output for 16-bit .tif.
For .cin or .dpx images, 10-bit input and 10-bit output are common. You may, however, want to use 10-bit input and 12-bit output. The bit depth is automatically set to 10-bit input and 10-bit output on loading a .cin or .dpx image.
This feature is also useful if your imaging application software supports unusual bit depths.
NOTE
If you select the Wide Color Gamut encoded LUT for export, the bit depth is overridden to 10-bit input and 12-bit output.
