RGB 16 bit means that 16 bits = 2 bytes per pixel are used to display a color. Usually 24 or 32 bits = 1 byte per Red, Green and Blue channel are used to display a pixel's colors. Because 16 bit can only display a maximum of 65536 different color shades, which sometimes results in heavy color banding, a technique called dithering is used to reduce color banding and to improve visual image quality. tv-player can use two different dithering techniques, ordered and diffusion.

Dithering is the most common means of reducing the color range of images down to the 256 (or fewer) colors seen in 8-bit GIF images. Most images are dithered in a diffusion or randomized pattern to diminish the harsh transition from one color to another. But dithering also reduces the overall sharpness of an image, and it often introduces a noticeable grainy pattern in the image. See similar questions...

When using the masked Photoshop option, one or more of the masks completely covers the image. (OS 8.6 to 9.x) See similar questions...

bit really does sound better than 16-bit, but there are a couple of down-sides. The soundfiles are significantly larger, which even with today's big drives, always ends up making a crunch for space, and can often make it more difficult to archive, spilling to multiple CDRs or whatever. And even the bounce-to-disc is now harder for the computer, and depending on the number of tracks and kinds of plug-ins, you could choke the processor, even a nice new speedy one.

All data are currently imported and exported as 8 bits per pixel component (eg, 8 bits Red, 8 bits Green, 8 bits Blue, 8 bits Alpha). 16 bit data will be converted to 8 bit data prior to import/export. When importing with "All Frames" enabled, all frames in the clip being imported must be the same dimensions (for example, 720 x 576). See similar questions...

Some plugins handle 16 bit data, whereas others only support 8 bit data. In this case, 16 bit images are converted to 8 bit for processing by the plugin. This is dependent on the individual Neuron bundles and how the corresponding vendors have implemented their plugins. In the Synapse Setup page, you will see the 16 bit formats under "Pixel Formats" if the current plugin supports 16 bit processing. See similar questions...

That indicates how big the chunks of data are that the CPU can manipulate at once. The Apple IIGS is a 16 bit machine and all other Apple ]['s are 8 bit machines. (It is possible to put a 65802 (extremely rare nowadays) as a replacement for a 6502 or 65C02, and get limited 16 bit functionality, but as the GS has a lot of extra chips to support what it does, you still would not be able to run 99.9% of GS software on such a machine) See similar questions...

TDes defines a set of Copy() methods to copy data from another descriptor of either width, from a pointer to a block of data of a specified length or from a NULL-terminated string. There are also methods for copying with folding,collation or case adjustment. In each case, the data is copied *from* the source specified in the parameter *into* the modifiable, target, descriptor upon which the method is called. See similar questions...

The Delphi 1 environment is for Windows 3.1 and 16 bit. The only significant difference to you is that the 32 bit (Delphi 4 and higher) environment handles long file names. In the example grammars the Cocol code is the same for each environment. However, because of changes made to the Delphi compiler some minor changes to embedded Delphi code has been necessary in some cases. The code generated by Cogencee is the same for Delphi 1 and Delphi 4 and higher. See similar questions...

Neither Visual C++ nor Visual Basic supports using 16-bit DLLs from 32-bit code; nor does any other compiler. It is possible to use 16-bit DLLs from a 32-bit program, but there is no (standard) automatic tool to do this. You have to code it manually. write a 16-bit application that calls the DLL, and communicate with the 16-bit app via some IPC mechanism (COM, DDE, Windows messages, etc) This is the last choice you have that can work the same way on 95/98/Me and NT4/Win2K. implement thunking.

Most 8 bit cameras are used at less than optimum performance. The camera will only produce 8 bits if the peak light level corresponds to camera saturation - i.e. filling the 256 grey levels available. This means that the light levels, gain and integration times must be carefully adjusted for this. With a 12 or more bit camera excellent images may be obtained over a very large range of light levels without changing gains or integration times. See similar questions...

Usually 8 bits of image information is adequate for printing or displaying images. The problem with 8 bit images is that when images are modified to bring out minute detail in the shadows or highlights, the limitations of 8 bits becomes more obvious in the form of quantization artifacts. The same limitations can occur when images are modified repeatedly. To prevent this, many sources of digital images such as scanners and digital cameras, provide more than 8 bits of image information. See similar questions...

A color model that consists of red, green, and blue; the primary colors that are mixed to display the color of pixels on a computer monitor. Every color of emitted light can be created by combining these three colors in varying levels. RGB is often used in color coding on web pages, particularly for GIF files. See similar questions...

It could take as long as an hour to upload a large 24 bit file with a high speed connection. If you have a dial-up connection, I will accept an mp3 file. Please make sure when you convert your high resolution files to an mp3 to use the highest kbps rate possible. I recommend 320 kbps. See similar questions...
