Hey people,
This is more of a question for the sake of my own understanding rather than because I'm trying to do anything in particular.
If I'm understanding what I've read in various articles online, from a RAW source file you can create either an 8-bit or 16-bit image to edit as you see fit. According to an interview with a Canon representative (I shoot with Canon), Canon RAW files are recorded in 14 bits per channel. So my question is how can a 14-bit file produce a 16-bit image?
