Hi all !
I'm currently working on a User Interface for a Wall Panel, but this Wall Panel has only 16bit (65.000) colors, i've tried a lot of different things but can't find a way to get smooth gradients, my images always have gradient banding.
I was wondering if there is a way to tell photoshop to work in 16bit mode ? (not 16bit by channel) so that the colors selected for the gradients would always be contained in the 65.000 available colors.
For the moment, the only way to get a 16bit image is when saving a file as a bitmap and selecting 16bit. But everytime i do this, gradient banding immediatly appear. Maybe photoshop bitmap encoder is just not that good for 16 bit mode bitmaps ....
Thanks in advance !

Not sure what u mean by 65,000 colours? Don't know of any way of seeing this in Photoshop. Is this your monitor setup? If it is you will always have banding as your monitor can't produce enough colours.

Hi bazman,
by 65.000 colors i mean that the device i'm working on only support 16bits color mode (5 red, 5 blue, 6 green), not 24bits like current desktops, so the number of color available is 65.000 (32*32*32*2).
The problem is that as photoshop is working in RGB/24bits color mode, i always got bending. I can't change the device monitor setup (it's WindowsCE5 wall panel), but i though that 65.000 colors would definitely be enough to get some smoth gradients ... |
