[QUOTE="Exodist, post: 1551409, member: 284358"] Thanks :) Not sure how they missed this to be honest. Then again I never used 16bit color or TIFF until I started photo editing. What prob happened is they tested it by opening a 16bit TIFF and thought it was all good. Then tested the other photographic features with Jpegs which are 8bit only anyway. You can even open a 16bit image, then drop a 8 bit on top as a new layers and it still works fine. This has got me thinking though, don't everyone panic.. LOL How much picture quality is really lost when going to 8bit. I mean we export to jpeg all the time and everything seems honky dory. Although if someone wanted photos for print, I would put them on CD as 16bit color TIFFs. If I had my export to Photomatix set to 8bit color instead of 16bit I would have never noticed this bug. Its when I tried to overlay two HDR images to get a super HDR that I ran into this. Incase your wondering what I was doing.. I take the normal HDR on top, then add the shadow mapped HDR (b/w one) and layer the B/W HDR over the normal and choose Hard Light and drop the transparency down to like 35-50% to get the final pic below. It adds more detail.. [ATTACH=full]19773[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]19774[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]19775[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
