Re: the times, bit depth

2006-11-14 by Tyler Boley

let's change this thread title eh? I can hardly live with seeing it
any more...
Guys, another important aspect of this is size on the paper itself. A
driver and printer's ability to describe individual levels in a
gradation is also related to how much "distance" it has to work with
getting from one tone to the next.
Dithering is a complex thing indeed. Way over my head. Also, how much
bit depth is truly used in the end seems to be something of a black
box with most of our software. Roy's post is very interesting.
