A Shocking Reason to Work in 16-Bit! - Photoshop Tips

[@ksan7999]

You're honestly the best educator on youtube!

[@jimbolic0809]

I agree. And it helps that his voice is also very pleasant.

[@Cola-42]

I've encountered those color artifacts countless times and I never found a way to solve it until now. So a big "thank you" from the heart.

[@valeriemcdowall1873]

Thanks for all your useful videos

[@marjoriebull652]

OMG! I have images in 8 bits with horrible banding that I've kept for years just because I love them anyway, but of course I couldn't sell them or show them to anyone, just had to keep them private for my own enjoyment. Now with this information, I should be able to go back and rescue them and share them with the world. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@Xiox321]

So I'm guessing 32-Bit opens a new dimension or something.

[@GamersShield]

hahahahahaha

[@ksan7999]

lmao right!

[@a1moments698]

We've heard that it gets Psy jealous going into that sort of territory..

[@Belgrythaz]

It's really cool creating an HDR image by combining several exposures and working with it as a 32-bit image. The freedom to manipulate the brightness is insane.

This video just save my life!!!! Thank you!!

[@boplittlejohn]

You PIXimperfect are really golden!

[@ll_spud]

Thanks for this tutorial. Ive spent many hours cursing and trying to fix this exact issue. The funny thing is it normally only happens when I have a BLACK background. Your solution is alot quicker and easier than my work around. Lol.

legend says " even in his real life unmesh uses Photoshop curves to darken his hair and refine edge to groom his beautiful beard "

[@mumintaha7883]

That was amazing, Thank you for sharing all this.

[@OrangeScuba]

fyi, you can fix the inaccurate preview of 18 bit by going into PS settings / performance and changing the Cache Levels.

[@NicolasRao]

Changing the cache levels to more or ??

Super. Thanks.

Incredibly useful tip

love your tutorials, thanks!

[@devanois]

Thank you for your tips

[@jeanpaulalmeida]

Very nice tip. Thank YOU! :)

[@mikebaginy8731]

Thanks, a great explanation! I wish I had known about this some 15 years ago when I made the switch to digital photography.

[@NicolasRao]

Me too. I switched late only in 2006, oh yes, that's 14 years ago, gosh time flies.

[@latifkhalifa7469]

Thank you Very much sir

[@armansheikh6659]

I was always confused about 8/16 bit. this tutorial broke down everything for me. thanks a lot brother!

[@ederperez2884]

Your video is so crispy! Love it thank you

[@bala1000mina]

Thanks a lot Unmesh! Very helpful!

[@EkeiShao]

Great video as always ! Awesome, thank you

[@glenboid]

Brilliant and very clear tutorial!

[@NicolasRao]

Excellent explanation, I was always working in 16 bit in Prophoto color space and then saving as Jpeg or for the web but found I had to make color adjustments again as the color saturation was lost in both methods of saving. I have not used the export command at all, did use flatten but did not save the 16-bit copy yet another blunder. This double work has had me thinking where do I find the right way. Thank you, that tutorial was perfect. I am not a pro but take pride in my work. I have been in photography and was an expert in film. Digital still gives me a few hiccups. Guess this will take one of those big ones away. Thank you Unmesh, its always so clearly explained by you. Thank you.

[@blackbox6841]

Thanks a lot

[@skystudio3160]

I'm a very big fan of you.

[@anjanikumarcpr]

Nice tips

[@Kalm15]

Knowing how to induce this banding in images could be very useful if you are into block shading in terms of digital art. Such a multifaceted tip.

[@Oragani]

Amazing video, love the channel!

[@tanaeatlee7989]

I know this video was uploaded a long time ago, I still wanted to say "Thank you!"

[@ashokbajracharya4206]

Great man! Congratulations for the work. Thank you very much.

[@helloitsmeterrykelly1944]

Excellent! Thank you again for another great video

[@FelipeMascarenhas]

Youre freaking awesome, man. Your tips are lifesavers and make such a huge difference while working with photoshop. Thanks a lot!

[@simonbolzdotcom]

I know this from experience when I use frequency separation it happens in skies sometimes. 16bit helps.

[@korinakassianou8496]

Very good explanation right to the point. Thank you!

great information bro. tks

[@sanondroid2581]

Your every video is packed with in depth information... no lazy moments...👌🏻👌🏻

[@mosespetrals1544]

I love you man...you tutoring exceptional

[@frasmix]

Even Photoshop 2020 can't handle your significant details and it's lagging 😂😉 great job bro

[@drubber007]

You are much better off using 16 bit for printing. Especially on certain tones such as graduations of colour on a sunset for example. On a 8bit you are far more likely to result in banding.

[@bloop1141]

I am using 16 bit for printing my magazine would it be nice,?

[@thomasye1986]

but the file wil large

[@PointTV_org]

Thank you man, you are the best!

[@kvnc5901]

wow..helped me a lot. Thank you for making this video.

[@amandarainy]

your the best teacher !

[@shareitboi]

Very nice, already used this technique since 90's on editing videos/3d animations, and we call these artifacts as "color banding". Until now I have seen many edited photos/videos getting this problem. Thank you for this Unmesh.

[@orenji6616]

I like how every comment on Unmesh's videos are always kind and wholesome.

[@HR-wd6cw]

I know this is an older video but I was under the impression (and taught) to work with the highest level of detail (so in this case it would be 16-bit if we're talking about bit depth) and take your "losses" as you go (ie. when exporting or performing tasks that can only be done in 8-bit). Same for color spaces (although with color spaces, particularly with Adobe RGB and say ProPhoto RGB) the changes may be more minimal, but when you go to say an even smaller color space such as sRGB, you may see some color shifts and blends /merging due to the smaller color space.

[@Stonefactor]

Great video, thank you.

[@carlosamiljour]

You are my favorite go to for anything Photoshop! Thank you so much for all this free gold content 🙌

[@lordhobbit8200]

this guy really helps me about bit world😆🙏✨ Thanks unmesh!

[@HorsPistes]

Amazing ! This guy is photoshop master 😎

[@stanleyiwejuo]

Hey Unmesh, is there really any diff between "save as jpeg" and "export to jpeg"?

[@mason7031]

I prefer exporting because you get much more control over the images

[@neelamkazimproduction3692]

Mason i have always used as save as.. jpeg

[@deBurrows]

I found out "Export" reduces the resolution's ppp without asking, so not good for printing.

[@NicolasRao]

I was intending to find that out myself. Guess getting the right answer would be nice. I found there was the color loss in save as command to 8 bit .jpg or .png

[@neelamkazimproduction3692]

Dr. Nicolas Rao wow thats nice

[@phiksngi2890]

I see Unmesh, I hit Like😁👍

[@insanebmxthomas]

Awesome, i was just watching some of your older videos on banding. I'm working on a very purple-pink-orange-ish image of palm trees and a sunset. Lots of curves/color manipulation though, so this will surely come handy. Unmesh you're a pro. A master!

[@chinochang22]

What is the defiant of Export - jpeg And Save as - jpeg

[@TheZikkyOne]

When you export image you can change its size in pixels, you can export more artboards at once etc.

[@kamaljitphotography]

Same question❓

[@kameronkrudyard]

@@TheZikkyOne ohh.. thank you very much

[@TheZikkyOne]

@@kameronkrudyard You are welcome

[@tomfull6637]

Kameron K Rudyard ..also worth mentioning is that “save as” returns the edited photo (as a copy) into LR (if you opened edit in PS from within LR)..

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

Awesome reason to use 16 bit. I can now hopefully get rid of my banding issues when lifting up dark shadows from D750 when lightening too much it shows banding. This should work with 16 bit. Thanks..

This is so helpful! It seems there should be a way to export 8-bit images from a 16-bit file directly. Strange that there isn't...

[@barrycraig]

If you work entirely in 8bit then you can still use all the filters and benefit from the smaller file sizes. You only need to duplicate the document, convert to 16 bit, flatten it then convert back to 8bit at the very end to get all the advantages of the 16 bit workflow without the huge working file sizes.

[@barrycraig]

@@davestokes3446 I'm not saying you flatten the working version of the file, just the exported version.

[@Watkinsss]

Unmesh, your videos are so clear and informative - they always help me learn! I have a question with this, I hope you can answer as you are the Photoshop Guru... As an alternative to saving a 16-bit copy and proceeding to merge all layers down for 8-bit etc... could highlight everything and make it a smart object, then switch back to 8-bit. This keeps the smart object file at 16-bit with all adjustments in place, and the original file is now back to 8-bit. It makes sense in my mind, but not sure if there's a reason this wouldn't work. Thanks!

[@Alvaro1Puentes]

That's a really clean image, what camera/lens was that shot on?
