jpg has 8 bits per channel meaning it can display only 256 distinct shades of gray.
camera raws tend to have lots more bits than that. is there a way to fit more of these grays into the evil format we call jpg?
perhaps we can dither the higher bit depth data into the jpg? darktable has a dither option but im not surrrrrrre if its doing what im talking about here. i think this is something i need to play around with in gimp.
my other idea for fitting that higher tonal data into a jpg is to use false colors to represent more gray tones, producing a fun gradient of colors from light to dark??
anyway whatever heres a picture with the darktable dither on auto and with it on 1 bit for fun.
into the 2400s

i really do think im good at "taking photos"
remembering why i was putting off editing the shots from this show, they weren't that great
been a minute since i brought out the Q
i have cleared backlog up to image 9X9P2019... out of (as of posting) 4006*. yeah. yeah. YEAH.
*many interim images are things i've already edited, and the majority of photos i take are not keepers
from sunday
chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo
can only see these images tagged to edit for so many months before i either gotta just edit or decide its not really worth editing
endless task
just put a piece of paper on top of the scanner and boom it fixes the light angle problem. still gotta remove the lights from the scanning head though it washes out the image .. and maybe gotta look into writing custom scanner firmware to actually control exposure cuz once those clouds went away i was just getting pure white captures (oh wait i could just make an aperture for the lens. lollll). this shot turned out nice though
