Hi Andreas,

The "why" is easy to answer: because the engineers did not program it into Illustrator!

To make a feature request (or to see if it's being worked on) go to:

Illustrator Feature Requests

Please post the link back here. Now that phones are taking 16-bit pictures, more people are likely to want this.

Best,

Jane

What happens when you open the pictures in Photoshop?

thats no problem. They opened with 16 bit/channel.

I transformed the screenshots with PS in 8 bit, so i can use it with AI - it's a littlebit awkward but AI does not support 16bit pictures

Fixed it - but not satisfied

The problem was, that new iphone screenshots were taken with 16bit.

Illustrator works only with 8bit - at least I know no way to switch to 16 bit. Or does someone know a solution?

Illustrator can't be switched. But maybe you can switch the iPhone.
