If you have a "32bit" setting, you have [EMAIL PROTECTED] display with your 
video card. It is normally assigned as three 8-bit bytes of a 32-bit 
long word, the fourth 8-bit byte is often used for alpha channel 
overlay stuff on some systems. It's simply more efficient to push 
around 32bit long-words than to push around smaller sized chunks of 
data.

Sorry, this is technical stuff ... when one is discussing computer 
technology, there's only so "simple" it can be described as without 
losing meaning or going on for pages of descriptive information.

Needless to say, for you: just set "Highest - 32-bits" and you'll be 
fine.

What's
a quantization space?  I never heard of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My display says the color quality is "Highest -32-bits" but I don't 
think I
have a 24-bit video card.

Maybe someone can explain this with a language other than technospeak.
Thing is, I'm not a complete dolt about this.  I know what it means to 
scan
or shoot digital with 8, 12, 14, or 16bit color.  Anyway, thanks for 
the
explanation ... ;-((
