AC is talking about Doug who are you talking about?

It's really a pretty bad picture. Are you sure Doug took it?

Oh, the temptation to reply...

That really is stupid when maybe half of them use their monitors in 16
bit mode with their own flavor of colour correction.

That's very unlikely. Nobody in their right mind views or edits photos in
less than 24/32 bit colour modes.

Agreed. When I read the OP, I thought it was just a lame joke, but he seems
serious. The only way to properly view photos is at the highest possible
quality. 16 bit mode will pretty much show banding on anything.

An easy way to avoid seeing flaws in your own images is to set your
monitor to run 32 bit (highest quality) mode. If you do this you most
definitely won't see the banding but ask yourself why would you *NOT*
want to see flaws and errors in the images you want to show other people?

Switch your monitor to 16 bit (high quality) mode and the banding in
poorly processed images sticks out like dogs balls.

In 20 years of working with digital images on computers, this is possibly
the stupidest, most clueless thing I've seen anyone say on the topic.

It *has* to be a joke. Nobody could be that clueless.

Well, it wasn't Doggy who substituted "your" for "you're" and misspelled
"xenaphobe" and "belief". ;^)

Are you saying the reason you use so many names is that you've been sponging
off of your friends' email accounts? Come on, Doug, we don't believe that. You
wouldn't *want* us to believe it, would you?

Now you've got me confused. Do the clueless dweebs wonder why or don't they?

Yeah, but for every few mediocre pictures that Bowser shows, he dusts off his
fisheye and comes up with one that's spectacularly good. If that crappy
picture was really yours, then show us the "keeper" from that shoot.

yep you're right I got it wrong, now I'm sure you feel so much better now
that you have been able to correct something or someone on the internet :-)
Thanks for playing.

By the way, apart from the ever so helpful lesson, do you actually have
something of substance to ad ??
