I am trying to convert an image from 8bit to 12 bit. I understand 8 bit can go from 0-256 while 12 can go from 0-4095 i believe. Basically i am using the bit value for analysis purpose so using a 12 bit image makes more sense for me. However I don’t have a lot of experience with image processing. Can i simply multiply the 8 bit values by a fraction of 256 or something similar? If anyone has any experience doing this can provide some feedback. I have read about going from 12 bit to 8 bit but it is hard to find information on going the other way.I am trying to convert an image from 8bit to 12 bit.
