In most cases I'd even prefer the 16 bit fixed point, with 11 significant bits the rounding errors become visible fast.



On the other hand fixed point can oversaturate easily and also the dark areas end up with less than 11 significant bits.

I guess ideally you'd reallocate the sign bit to the mantissa, and maybe an exponent bit too.
