How to Make a Glowing Text Effect in Krita

8 bit vs. 16 bit per Channel Color Depth and Gamma-Corrected sRGB vs. Linear sRGB vs. Rec. 2020 Color Profile Comparison using a Glowing Text Effect (2025)

Share
An infograph comparing gamma-corrected sRGB, linear sRGB, and wide gamut (rec. 2020) color profiles in 8 bits pers channel and 16 bits per channel. The effect was made by using a copy with gaussian blur in Addition blend mode. Compared to gamma-corrected sRGB, linear sRGB results in brighter colors, and wide gamut has even brighter colors including changing the hue of green to yellow. 8 bit displays banding artifacts at the edges of the Gaussian blur that become more clear in wide gamut.

Description

A comparison of 8-bit and 16-bit color depths and gamma-correct sRGB (perceptual sRGB), linear sRGB, and a wide gamut color space known as Rec. 2020 using a glow effect created in Krita.
