Image Modes

Photoshop and other host software support many image modes, such as Gray, RGB, LAB, CMYK, etc. Images can also be 8 bits per channel or 16 bits per channel. All Topaz Vivacity™ filters support both 8 bits per channel and 16 bits per channel.

All filters in Topaz Vivacity™ support the RGB image format. In addition, all except for Topaz DeJPEG™ and Topaz DeJPEG2000™ also support Gray, or single channel image. Therefore, you can work in an image mode of your choice, e.g., CMYK, and still use Topaz Vivacity™ on each channel separately. This can give you much more control and is preferred in certain situations.
