48Bit RAW to PNG
Correctly converts most RAW formats to 16bit per channel PNG (48bit)
Keeps the raw gamma channel as perceptive gamma
This is a petition to AI engineers and photographers alike. I have seen may "RAW" images encoded as JPG or even 8Bit "Lossless" PNG.
Photographers:
Please use TIFF or a format that can keep the 16bit color with minimal losses.
AI engineers
I am working on a VAE that trains and supports 16bit encoding and decoding.
Could we not using GAN or some other method train the a AI model to restore the losses from 0-255 RGB to 0-65k RBG?
A tool that 90% restores 8bit color to 16bit color would be useful for many reasons.
If such training has been done already please link to it.
