ATI FirePro ushers in 10-bit colour support for Adobe Photoshop

Hidden away in the release notes for ATI’s latest FirePro graphics driver (8.663.3) is 10-bit colour support for Adobe Photoshop. But what exactly does that mean?

Those that can afford HP’s stunning DreamColor LP2480xz monitor will now have access to over one billion colours inside the industry standard imaging software – 64 times more colours than most LCDs. And that means incredibly smooth colour transitions – more colours, in fact, than your eyes can see.
