 The bit depth of the images that you use in Lys have a large impact on the quality of the processed maps. Unfortunately,​ 8bit images have extremely low precision due to the relatively small number of values that can be represented per channel. The bit depth of the images that you use in Lys have a large impact on the quality of the processed maps.

-As a result of this limited precision, it can be difficult to reproduce variations of angle and slope with acceptable accuracy. This limitation of 8bit height maps may become apparent in the form of banding. These artifacts may not be immediately noticeable ​on Normal maps, however they are still present and may reduce the accuracy and fidelity of Lys’s output.+As a result of this limited precision, it can be difficult to reproduce variations of angle and slope with acceptable accuracy.
