104 Colour and Greyscale
Colour modes
PhotoPlus operates in several colour modes to let you work in standard
and higher levels of colour or tonal detail—these are 8 Bits/Channel
RGB (or 8 Bits/Channel Greyscale), the more detailed 16 Bits/Channel
RGB (or 16 Bits/Channel Greyscale), and Lab 8 Bits/Channel or 16
Bits/Channel mode for professional yet natural edits.
As a rule of thumb, use RGB 8 Bits/Channel for general editing, then
consider RGB 16 Bits/Channel or Lab mode for deep colour or
professional edits.
If you already have 16-bit images, you'll probably want to benefit from
that deep colour or tonal information throughout your project, from
opening, through editing, to saving your high quality images.
