Increasing the color depth of an image
If an image has a color depth of less than 24-bit, you may want to
increase the color depth so you can use a wider range of effect and
correction commands, many of which only work on images with 16
million colors. Depending on the color depth of your image, you can
also increase an image to 16 colors (4-bit) or 256 colors (8-bit).
To increase the color depth of an image
Edit workspace
• Choose Image Increase Color Depth, and choose one of the
following:
• 16 color palette
• 256 color palette
• RGB - 8 bits/channel
• RGB - 16 bits/channel
Color depths not available for the active image are grayed out.
If your image has a palette, for example if you have a 256 color
(8-bit) image, and you need to maintain the palette colors, you
can save the palette before increasing the color depth. After
editing the image, you can reload the palette. For more
information, see “Working with image palettes” on page 641.
