ComfyUI Node
Bit Depth Enhancement (Classical)
Converts 8-bit images to 16-bit using classical image processing algorithms. Reduces banding in gradients and smooth areas while preserving edge detail. No ML models required.

Inputs (4)
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| image | IMAGE | Input 8-bit image from previous ComfyUI nodes. Converts to 16-bit with reduced banding artifacts for professional color grading workflows. | |
| method | COMBO | Enhancement algorithm: Bilateral+Dither (edge-preserving smoothing + error diffusion for balanced quality) | Gradient Domain (processes gradients, best for skies and smooth transitions) | Multi-scale Fusion (Laplacian pyramid, highest quality, preserves fine detail) | Fast Edge-Aware (guided filter, fast processing, good quality) | |
| strength | FLOAT | 0.70–1 | Enhancement intensity (0.0-1.0). Higher values = more aggressive banding reduction. Start at 0.7 for most footage; reduce for subtle enhancement or increase for severe banding. |
| preserve_edges | BOOLEAN | true | Edge-aware filtering to maintain sharp details (faces, text, fine textures) while smoothing flat areas. Disable only for uniformly soft/blurry content. |
