Revival Pro… 16-bit??
I’m running a batch process right now so I can’t try this out, but I’m wondering if Revival Pro can process 16-bit images… if so what flavor? TIFF (uncompressed or LZW), DPX?
I have some scans on a restoration project and I need to maintain a 16-bit workflow.
thanks!

Hi Jonathon. I’m sorry to say Revival does not support 16 bit images. Currently, only 8 and 10 bit DPX files.

“I have some scans on a restoration project and I need to maintain a 16-bit workflow”
Just curious… If your files are 16 bit Linear and Revival can handle 10 bit LOG, could you not do conversions and end up with 16 bit Linear files all the while maintaining the high level of color information in your workflow?

Unfortunately they are 16-bit log, not 16-bit linear. I know, it is unusual.

Wow! Those are some nice files to work with I’m sure!
I’m still learning this, but I think if you converted them to 16 bit linear, you would actually be downgrading them. I think you would have to convert them to something like 24 bit linear to not lose information. Again, I’m just learning and only guessing.
And I think I’ve gone off on a tangent away from your original question…

Yes, eventually they will actually go to 10-bit log. There were dynamic range issues with some of the footage so different segments will be companded differently then others. It’s funny what a piece of film can do (or is capable of doing!).
