8bit vs 16bit
hi,
i draw an online comic. i draw and ink the comic by hand, then scan it and use photoshop for coloring and editing. up until now i used 16 bit image,
which was the default from the scanned file. but i recently found out that using 8 bit makes the image easier to work with, and much smaller in size.
my question is - is 8 bit good enough for coloring? does it cause any diffrence? when is 16 bit needed?
thank you

hi matan, welcome to the cafe. others may have another opinion, but the image from your scanner is probably best, and is what i did years ago. hard
drives were smaller and cores less, but we suffered through it. today, drives are cheap and cores abundant. upgrade the machine, don't degrade the
art!
