    I have a red solid that my color info palette says has a value of 32,768. What gives? I thought it only went to 255.

    Shut the **** up, Donnie

    0-255 is the range for 8 bit per channel projects,
    0-32768 is the range for 16 bits per channel projects
    And if I understood correctly, 0 to 1 is the “normal” range for HDR, with darker than black values under 0 and brigher than white values greater than 1….
    It coud help watching one of the After Effects 7 HDR video tutorials (like Brian Maffit’s) now available on the web. I think there’s another one here in the Cow, right?

    And to add to Adolfo’s information, clicking in the info palette will cycle you through different display options, eg. 0-255, 0-100%, RGB, HSL. So if you suddenly see your values as either a percentage or a HSL value then just keep clicking on the info palette until you get back where you wanted.
