Flipbook and FXTree default format....

Flipbook and FXTree default format....

You'll have to add a bitdepth
operator right after the File Input node.

Everything below will now be in 16-bit.
If you bring in a second file and 'over' it
on top, the larger bit depth will be used.

Operators always process by default in the
greater bit depth of all their inputs,
and output that chosen bit depth.
That is what the 'Default' setting for
Output Depth tab will do.

The fxviewer shows you at the top left
what the bitdepth of the current image is
so you can tell it's working.

The file browser, in thumbnail mode,
can be used to check if the file you've
written to disk is indeed 16-bit.

Subject: RE: Flipbook and FXTree default format....



My source is 8 bit, but the result needs to be
16-bits, not just the output file, but the processes
need to be 16-bit.  So if for example, I blur the heck
out of a big white circle, I will have 16-bit greys
not 8-bit.  So everything up to the output is handled
as 16-bits regardless of the source depth, and not I
am not just putting 8-bits of RGB into a 16-bit image?

Thanks,
Eric
