However if the linear data has been subjected to some non-linear compression (as per modification of the gamma transfer curve around the noise floor and slightly before saturation) then the 12bits could potentially represent the equivalent of 16 bits of linear data :-) -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
