 |
|
I'm new to PS and was opening a new document and in the options box I got stuck:
Resolution : 240 Pixels/Inch (do I leave it at this setting?)
Color Mode: 8-Bit (it also has 16-bit and 32-bit)
I was reading that 24-bit is the best but I don't have that as an option. I also was reading that depending on your graphics card gradients won't come out smoothly but instead show faint lines.
I have a PC and thought it was strong enough to handle CS4 but if I'm missing the 24-bit option does that hurt any professional output? |

Don't sweat it, 16bit gradients should be just fine. If you do find banding in your images, add a little noise to break it up. Not aware of a 24bit option.
