Regarding the limitations on the human eye: I am no expert on this, but from what I have read, the average human eye can distinguish somewhere from 7 to 10 million different colors. RGB888 is 24 bit color, which is enough for over 16 million colors. So by that measure, average human eyes should not be able to tell the difference between RGB888 and RGB101010 Of course, I am no expert on this, and I know that the way the rods and cones in an eye encode color is very different from the way digital color is encoded in pixels, so there may possibly be other reasons why RGB888 might be less that mathematically perfect for human color vision. I would be interested to hear from someone who IS an expert. Do we have any Opticians on-list? :) --- James Paige
