    10-Bit display test with 16-bit TIFF

    editor0range

      Okay, I just got this new HP Dreamcolor Z27x and want to test it on 10-Bit with Windows 8.1 64bit and Photoshop CC 2014.

       

      I followed that guide:

      10 Bit Color Depth and Adobe Photoshop CS6 | ted lansing photography blog

      to create the TIFF-File:

       

      1. In Adobe Photoshop create new file
        • 900 px wide and 300 px tall
        • RGB color and 16 bit
      2. Use gradient tool to create gray scale gradient from RGB: 64/64/64 to RGB: 96/96/96
      3. Safe file as 16 bit tif file

       

      Wich behaves very strange!

       

      When I create the gradiant in 16bit mode, it shows me zebra stripes, like it would be 8-bit.

      I actually need to change the Color Mode from 16 to 8 bit, to see a smooth transition within the gradiant.

       

      BUT, did I just kill the 16-Bit information with changing the mode or is it just a bug? I´m really distracted...

       

      Please can somebody tell me, what to do?

       

      Thanks in advance!

       

      PS: In Premiere, the TIFF-File is shown naturally in 10-bit like it should be!
