About the 16-Bit Format
When the [16 bits per color channel] option is selected for RAW image conversion,
the data is converted to 16 bits per RGB channel. Although colors are sharper than
with the 8-bit option, the file size is larger. Moreover, although Adobe Photoshop LE
and a few other advanced programs can read the files, some applications cannot.
Click an option to set the
bit count for each RGB
channel during
conversion. Select [8 bits
per color channel] to
save images in the TIFF
(8 bits/channel) or BMP
format. Select [16 bits
per color channel] to
enable the TIFF (16 bits /
channel) format.
To process images
more quickly, remove
this check mark if you
do not need to have
“false colors” removed
from portions of the
image during
conversion.
Click an option to set whether images convert
automatically or are adjusted for image quality. Click
the [Convert with RAW image quality conversion]
option to display the RAW Image Parameter Settings
dialog and make adjustments before conversion (p. 49).
Click an option to set how file names are assigned to saved images. Select
[Use original RAW image file name] to use the original root file with a
new extension: TIF or BMP. Select [Specify a root name and number
consecutively] to input the root name yourself. The file name will
comprise the specified root name followed by a 5-digit number assigned
consecutively and the file extension: TIF or BMP.
