Proper picture display for 16 bits/ 24 bits image

Thanks Brian..

I got that document it doesn't help me.. And yes I need really 16bit image to display or atleast view the detail for 16 bit gray levels..

The problem with themonitor limits only the display of the images.  It's possible to scale a 16-bit image so that it's approximated in an 8-bit image, but you are always going to have only 256 gray levels on your monitor.  This is a limit on the visualisation only.  Calculations and other work can be done with no problems on a 16-bit image.

A 12-bit system is far from useless as any calculations performed on this data benefits from the increases resolution of the image.

I believe there are specialised 12-bit or 16-bit monitors out there but they are prohibitively expensive and I think the LV doesn't support displaying more than 256 levels per colour, although I may be wrong on that.

I personally believe that the common display technology will eventually move beyone 8-bits, but I don't see this being realistic for some years yet.....

Why do you absolutely NEED to display more than 8 bits of data?

I agree with shoneill.  Why do you need to be able to see 16 bits of intensity data?  Displaying at 8 bits does not force you so you can not process in 16 bit.  The need to display at 16 bits would mean that your eye can differentiate between (2^16) values of greyscale.  My vision is decent, but I have a difficult time differentiating at (2^8) intensity levels.

What bonus do you get in displaying at higher resolutions of intensity?

Thank you both of You for clarifying my Vision..

I was thinking that If I get 16 bit resolution I can have more details when I zoom in ..

That was the only purpose.. But now i think It want make any diffrence

Thanks again.
