[edit] Dubious tag

I put a "dubious" tag, lacking a better idea, on a sentence that I couldn't understand. What is it trying to say? Dicklyon (talk) 02:09, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

The entire paragraph was a fossil; even it is not mine, but part of the primitive stub article (february 2007, which mixes and misleaded many concepts). As far I can remember, it was intended for something related to YUV to RGB accuracy or so. It was nonsense in the current article (obvious). This was my fault, sorry.

Well, actually you wasted a right opportunity to delete things! ;-) -Ricardo Cancho Niemietz (talk) 14:24, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Banding in 24bit samples

The section on 24-bit palettes have 4 sample images which it states "must be seen as continuous" and it suggests that if banding is visible, the display is running at 16-bit or less.

I have looked at the images from 2 different computers, both of them running at 24-bit, and on both of them the two first images (Red=0 and Red=85) have very clear banding, while the third (Red=170) have less obvious banding and the fourth (Red=255) has subtle banding.

I realise that the displays could be badly calibrated, and my knowledge of color and displays is very limited so I haven't made any edits, but for someone with my eyesight (which to the best of my knowledge is average at best) the claim that there is no banding is clearly false. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.116.246.5 (talk) 13:55, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Test image clarification

If the intent of the test images is to represent a collection of possible colors at each bit depth, then, at a minimum, the 15-bit image is incorrect.

It contains over a thousand colors (for example, #CED6FF) which are not representible with 15 bits.

If this is not the intent, could some explanation be added (to the images themselves, perhaps) as to how these images are representative samples of their respective palettes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joedavidson (talk • contribs) 14:37, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
