Image Differences That You Can't See : Jared as Creative Director of New Media
I'm often asked what is the practical difference between scanning a slide at 8 bit verses 16 bit or saving a TIFF verses a JPG with quality set to 12.
For all practical purposes there isn't any difference and normally when comparing them in Photoshop using a difference filter the naked eye sees nothing out of place. In fact most of the time the comparison images are pure black.
However...
I was asked by a patron about what the human eye can't see. So instead of just overlapping the images in Photoshop and running a difference to see what pixels, if any, looked out of place - I decided to flatten the image and then run an Equalize Adjustment on it to stretch the data into a range into which I could see the differences.
For this posting I reduced all of the resulting images from 5400 pixels to 1000, from 16 bit to 8 bit, and from TIFF to JPG Quality 12. The images are still a good representation of the previously unseen differences without uploading images that are 130MB each.
Let's start with this photograph that I took in Ireland:
This is the exaggerated difference between the 16 bit image and the 8 bit one:
---
This is the exaggerated differences between the 8 bit TIF and the 8 bit JPG saved at quality 12:
---
This is the exaggerated difference between the image using single line sampling an image sampling 16 times per line:
---
This is the exaggerated difference between the digital ICE set to normal and the digital ICE set to fine:
---
In the end I am fascinated by the amount of data that is being lost in each of these cases. For my own archives I've been saving the originals as 16 bit TIF files with the Digital ICE set to normal. But I wonder if I should look more into the 16x sampling mode as well as the Digital ICE fine mode.
I also like the similarity in the 'look' of the differences between the 16x sampling comparison and the Digital Ice comparisons.
Coming soon: A look at the differences that you CAN see: ICE, GEM, and JPG.

Introduction: New Media : Jared as Creative Director of New Media
The oldest of the hats I wear is that of being an employee of Case Western Reserve University. Back in 1988, when I was 16 years old I was hired by Michael Kahana (who was then a student at Case) to program for him in the Psychology Department. He taught me to program (Borland Pascal version 3.0) and to visualize projects and perform complex problem solving. Mike is a brilliant guy (he was then and from what I read he is now) and his approaches to problem solving and programming helped to shape who I am today.
As a student I worked for many departments: Psychology, Sociology, Neurology, Physics, Civil Engineering. Eventually I landed a job with a Case startup called Infantest under Dr. Fagan of the Psychology Department where I served as the Technical Director of Research and Development.
After that job ended in 1994 I was hired full time by Case to be the Instructional Technology Specialist for the Social and Behavioral Sciences. Since then I have had a wide variety of titles, offices, and supervisors. (However the blog entry entitled: My many bosses, offices, and titles is best served for a future date.)
In December of 2006 I was formally transferred from ITAC to the Kelvin Smith Library under Tom Hayes as Creative Director of New Media in the Freedman Center which is a partnership between the College of Arts and Sciences and the Kelvin Smith Library.
