Absolutely! Higher precision is always better. But if you must go as low as 8bits, you should dither.

8 bit per component = 0-255 red, 0-255 green, 0-255 blue Like ~99% of images you encounter on the Web.

by meindnoch 2mo ago
Yeah. But even if you stay in the digital realm, dithering is necessary at 8bits per component. Consider that a grayscale gradient can only have 256 distinct levels.

Every image should be dithered below 10 bits/component to prevent banding artifacts.

How much does this cost? Something tells me we could have covered the planet in fibre for the price of these Starlink satellites.

That's why it's called SQL aka String Query Language. The queries are just strings.
