30-bit displaying with Krita?

[Dmitry Kazakov]

KisPainterCanvas uses 8-bit either. Speaking truly i can't imagine the case
where one can see any difference in colors between 16/8-bit depth on regular
monitor. As far as i remember DVI-standard uses "up to 24-bit"
representation, so 16-bit won't help anyway ;)

Could you publish the test, please?

Maybe you mean "stripes" on gradients, don't you?
If so, the problem is a bit worse, than just "16-bit" canvas. As it might
not help. Most of the editors, afaik, uses "dithering" during conversion
from 16-bit to 8-bit. They add a special noise to the image to hide this
stripes (at least Photoshop does).
I'm not sure Krita has this ability... (Cyrille, ping!)
