I think I goofed and only sent this to Carl before... ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Karl Kuehn <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Jan 15, 2019 at 12:54 PM Subject: Re: 48-bit photos? To: Carl Hoefs <[email protected]>
The new phones are capable of 10-bit-per-channel color (vs 8bpc in older ones). However you have to be taking the pictures in the "High Efficiency" mode rather than "Compatibility" mode so that it saves in HEIF format rather than JPEG (which can only store 8bpc). The "48-bit images" probably comes from the fact that HEIF can store 16bpc images, so 48bpp (bits-per-pixel), but the sensors are not actually capable of that (yet). I don't know the HEIF format well enough to know if it can store 10bpc images, or if you have to go from 8bpc directly to 16bpc, again another possible source of confusion.
