Why is a 10-bit image paded out to 16-bits when saving?

My question comes in responce to Mr. Elliotts answers. When saving a 10-bit image why are more zeros added to create a 16-bit image and then have it saved to *.png format? With the more zeros added why can it not save it in *.tif format?

Hello.
I am not exactly sure which other post you are referring to, but I can clarify that the 'zeros' are added because computers cannot represent 10-bit numbers, they are either 8-bit or 16-bit integers. Therefore, you get the padded zeroes effect. You should be able to save a 10-bit mono image into png or tif format, but there is no 'standard' for 16-bit TIFF images, so they may not open in all editing software.
Hope this helps.

  • Out of Memory Error when Saving SequenceFile generated using API

    I am currently developing an application that creates a SequenceFile using .NET 4.0, C# (2010), Windows 7 Pro x64, Dual Core 2.5 GHz, 3.0Gb Memory.  Using the API EngineClass, I create a complete SequenceFile based on user/file inputs and then save it to disk.  When I'm done, I save using SequenceFile.Save() and then release using ReleaseSequenceFileEx().
    For smaller files, there is no problem.  For larger files, I sporadically get the following error:
    System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xFFFFBD98): Out of memory.
    When the file does save, it is ~2.8Mb.  Breaking the file up is not an option.  I am not looping, this is one shot.  I've tried shutting down VS2010 and restarting the computer.  It is still inconsistent on saving.
    I also had to set the Embed Interop Types to False per guidance from NI.  They said that it is unstable in 4.0.
    Questions
    1. Is there a file limit size to the Save() API function?
    2. Is there a workaround to using the Save()?
    Best Regards
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I am using C#.NET.  I called them in my save method immediately prior to the actual test save sequence.
    GC.Collect();
    GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
    GC.Collect();
    GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
    try
           CurrentSequenceFile.Save(outputPath);
           catch (Exceptionerror)
           FireLogEvent(ParserLogType.Parsing_Error, string.Format("{0}", error));
    Factory.TSEngine.ReleaseSequenceFileEx(CurrentSequenceFile, ReleaseSeqFileOptions.ReleaseSeqFile_UnloadFile);
    Hope this helps

  • Exporting for web in Illustrator 6, why are my png & gif images turning out blurry?

    I have never had this problem before. I am exporting an image for web in Illustrator 6 and my images are all turning out blurry. I have attached a sample image as well as a screenshot of my current settings, although I have messed with the settings quite a bit and I seem to have this problem no matter what I do.

    gwynthfair,
    Apart from its inverted colour, the image in the OP does look rather bad when clicked, but the linked version seems quite normal given the size.

  • Why do the file extensions (.jpg .gif .png) no longer appear when I click on a previously saved image to use that image's file name (particularly important when saving a series of images using the same root name)?

    I save a lot of images using firefox, often times from a large batch or series of images. It used to be that I would click on a previously saved image and the entire file name including the file extension (i.e. image_example.jpg) would appear in the "save as" line. Now when I click on a previously saved file, the file name appears without the file extension (i.e. image_example). Which means I have to manually type .jpg every time. For a large collection of images that I am hoping to use the same root file name and then add chronological numbers at the end, this has become incredibly frustrating, especially as it is a previously unnecessary task.
    I am using a new Macbook Pro and maybe there's something Apple related to this...? It did not happen on my old PowerBook G4. I have file extensions turned on in System Preferences.
    It should be noted that I have searched high and low and have even gone into the Apple Genius Bar where they were just confused as I was and of course ended by urging me to use Safari (shocker!) as it has all kinds of new extensions and bells and whistles. I seriously feel alone on an island with this dumb, hard to google problem. Thanks so much for any help anyone out there might have.
    I mean: is this as simple as changing a setting in about:config?
    Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for your response Mylenium, however like I mentioned multiple times, I did change all of my trackpad/scrolling settings in system preferences.  And if I wanted to use a normal mouse (or a tablet), I would've gotten an iMac instead of a MacBook Pro.  I travel often and work all over the place, not always with access to a decently sized workspace that would be required for using a mouse or tablet.

  • Why am I getting 2 images of each picture on iPhoto when I connect my iPhone to the iMac?

    I have been experiencing this problem for a while. However, it doesn't happen all the times.
    When I connect my iPhone (4s) to my iMac (running Yosemite), iPhoto pops up on screen, all the pictures from my iPhone displaying under "Devices" (i.e. the iPhone) are all duplicated, meaning each picture has 2 copies displaying. Therefore, I don't feel comfortable uploading them to the iMac, worrying that I may get 2 copies of everything taking up the memory.
    Appreciate if someone could help me resolve this problem. Thank you.

    Before you import unplug the iPhone and plug it back in.  That usually will remove the duplicate photos showing and import just one copy.

    [DocumentBodyStart:82156be4-6d1a-4fe9-ac48-11557b932026]
    Thanks for the above input from all. I found, regardless of updates and whatnot... that if I were importing photos from my phone via the USB connection, I had to make sure that in iTunes both "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" and Sync this iPhone over wifi were UNCHECKED.
    Open iPhoto after those options in iTunes correspond, and finally the duplicate issue stopped.

  • Why does my iphone 4 play music out of the speakers when headphones are plugged in all the way

    Any suggestions? Just happened yesterday out of nowhere

    Have you checked the settings in System Preferences>Sound?  Are you certain that the jack is fully inserted?  If available I would try another set of earphones.
    Ciao.

  • Why does RCS prompt me to check out the .XPJ file when I open RoboHelp HTML?

    We just upgraded from X3 to X5 and began using RoboSource
    Control. We currently have a dedicated server machine and 1 client
    machine (we'll be adding 3 more client machines once I resolve all
    issues with this one). I have working folders set up on each
    machine so I can open the Help projects with RoboHelp HTML.
    The issue here is that I often receive the following prompt
    in a dialog box when I open a Help project in RH HTML:
    "To add version control information to this project, the
    files in the list below need to be checked out from version
    control. Do you want to check out these files?" (The only file
    listed is the .XPJ file.)
    I only seem to receive this message after I have opened that
    particular Help project on the other PC. E.g., I open Help project
    A on the Server. If I close it, I can re-open the Help project on
    that machine multiple times without receiving the message. However,
    if I then open Help project A on the client machine, I'll get the
    prompt to check out the XPJ file. If I check it out, I can then
    re-open the Help project on that machine multiple times without
    receiving the message. Of course, if check in the XPJ file from the
    client machine, I'll get the prompt on the Server machine to check
    it out the next time I go to open it up from there.
    Thoughts?

    Dirk,
    Thanks for the suggestions. I was prompted to check out the
    XPJ for one of our Help projects this morning. I clicked
    No (to NOT check out the XPJ file from the database), then
    selected the
    File Status tab, right-clicked on the XPJ file, selected
    Show Differences... and discovered that the XPJ file in the
    database had the following version control related text, whereas
    the XPJ file in the working folder on my SERVER machine did not
    (the working folder copy on my CLIENT machine matched the file in
    the database):
    Note: This code appears between a <miscproperties> line
    and a <CompileOptions> line (both XPJ files had these two
    lines).

  • Images imported in illustrator not showing when saving work as pdf

    Hi, I'm new to illustrator and have encountered a seemingly strange problem.  I'm trying to create a figure for a scientific article consisting of a plot (.pdf, created in Mathematica) with another graphic (.pdf, also created in Mathematica).  I've imported the two files into illustrator cs6, making sure that they are within the artboard margins.  They look fine there.  However, when I save the file as a pdf (to be used in subsequent applications), and view it (either in Preview (on mac) or in Acrobat Reader), the second graphic doesn't show up.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your response.  It doesn't seem to matter which layer is higher in the stack.  I also checked that each layer was set to "print".  I think the problem is on the Mathematica side --- the problem I have arises with pdf graphics generated in Mathematica 8, but not in 9.  Hmm.

  • Why do I get a session timed out message?

    Why do I get a session timed out message in iTunes when I try to redeem a gift card?

    I had similar problem. My old Mac (also OS X (10.4.11) was out of sync. The reset clock strategy I read about elsewhere did not work for me. But, selecting Manage > Change Country (at the bottom of itunes window) and selecting (reselecting?) my country did correct the problem.

  • Why does an image size 6x6 240 print out 6.25x6.25 when I drag it into a new file 24x7  240?  When I print it before I drag it into the new file it prints out 6x6.

    Why does an image size 6x6 240 print out 6.25x6.25 when I drag it into a new file 24x7  240 image size?  If I print it before I drag it into the 24x7 240 file it prints 6x6.

    What is the number 240 meant to indicate here – the resolution? If so please also give the unit.
    And what are your printer and the print settings you use, could there be any scaling involved in the printing itself?

  • Why are the adjustment layer controls grayed out?

    I have used an adjustment layer in CS5 and when it was first used I could adjust everything.  Now most of the controls have grayed out and whilst I can slide the sliders I can not type figures in nor use the radio buttons!  Why has it locked me out?  It has happened on a few images and with both Colour Balance and Hue and Saturation Layers.
    The image above shows the problem with the top Colour Balance layer where I can not select Shadows or Highlights, nor type in figures for the sliders BUT I can slide them and change the tick on Preserve Luminosity!  The basic image being edited is an 8-bit RGB file. 
    Adding a new adjustment layer (Colour Balance) on top of this one initially showed the same problem but after adding 3 more new adjustment layers suddenly eveything came back to fully working again - even the original problem layer!
    This problem keeps happening with some of my images.  It is happening on all 3 of our photoshop PC's, so it looks like a basic PS bug.  Has anyone else seen this or know why it happens?

    Thanks for the suggestion but that has no effect on them being grayed out or not.  When this problem occurs it does not matter if the Mask is highlighted OR the adjustment itself.
    But thanks anyway.
    I am currently without the issue on the above example having removed the problem by adding additional adjustment layers and removing them again. Even if I now select just the adjustment mask I can still access ALL adjustment controls without problem.
    But it will occur again as it has done over the last few months on a random basis.  Hopefully someone else has seen this occur and found a solution?

  • Why does LR name my images "Edit8bit" When opening into Photoshop?

    I have preferences>external editing>Bit Depth set to 16 bits/component.  So why when I open my images is the file name saying they are 8 bit?  Photoshop shows them as "RGB/16".  The image mode shows 16 bit inside of photoshop.
    These images start out in Lightroom as 12 or 14 bit RAW (NEF) images.  I'm just concerned that some sort of 8 bit conversion is happening before my images get loaded into photoshop and I am losing some color information in the process?  Am I?
    I am currently on LR 5.2 and Photoshop CC 14.1.2  But this has been happening for many versions of LR and Photoshop

    What have you got set as the External Editing File Naming scheme, bottom of the External Editing tab in the Lightroom Preferences? That's where the file name is (user) controlled:

  • Audition CS6: Why no more 64 bit version of Audition?

    Audition CS6: Why no more 64 bit version of Audition?  There used to be 64 bit Audition in CS5.5.

    The biggest hurdle is plug-ins. If they could figure out a reliable way to wrap 32-bit plug-ins for 64-bit platforms, they'd probably make the transition more quickly, but a lot of the plug-in developers have been slow to make the jump. I imagine Audition will be 32-bit for at least one more release.
