The differences between 10bit and 8bit are: color depth, display range, anti-aliasing, grayscale performance, and file size.

1. Color depth

8bit can display 256 different colors, while 10bit can display 1024 different colors. Numerically, 10bit has four times the color depth of 8bit. This is important for application scenarios where color representation is more demanding, such as movies and TV commercials.

2. Display range

The display range of 8bit is usually 16-235, while the display range of 10bit is 64-940. This is because there will be some distortion and noise during the transmission of digital image signals, so the display range needs to be left open to avoid the influence of too much noise.

3, anti-aliasing

8bit image in the display of jagged phenomenon, that is, the image of the straight line will have some broken feeling. This is because 8bit can't handle the smooth transition between image resolution and detail very well. However, 10bit color depth can better handle the color history of the image, which results in a smoother transition between the resolution and details of the image and better anti-aliasing.

4, gray-scale performance

In the digital image, gray-scale performance is also very important. 10bit in the gray-scale performance is far better than 8bit, especially in the dark performance. 10bit can better show the details and sense of hierarchy, so that the image is more realistic and natural.

5, file size

10bit compared to 8bit, each pixel will have more bits stored, so the file size will be larger. This may affect the efficiency of storage and transmission for images or videos with large amounts of data.
