AviSynth+ 16-bit Overlay function?

[TomArrow]

I've been using AviSynth+ for a while now and really appreciate the deep color features.

The documentation of the Overlay filter states that it only supports 8 bit, with a note for AVS+ that says "TODO".

Is the documentation just outdated or does it really just support 8 bit? That would be quite a shame, since its such a general purpose filter.

I understand that the Layer filter does support RGB64, but it doesn't have all the same transfer modes as Overlay, for example softlight.

Yeah, documentation is not finished. Mentioning "shame" is a bit strong though.
EDIT: doc updated

10-16 bit formats are supported. Mode "blend" works also for 32 bits.

Besides old packed RGB formats, planar RGB is supported.
RGB is not converted to YUV 4:4:4 for mode "blend"
YUV 420 or 422 are not converted to 444 for "blend", "luma" and "chroma"

Thanks for taking the time to write that up. :)

That's very good news. Mostly interested in the softlight mode and general purpose overlaying without any mode myself.

Pinterf, I dont think that TomArrow meant the word shame to be taken in the context that you took it to be.

From my WordWeb hotkey dictionary
Noun: Shame sheym

1) A state of dishonour
"one mistake brought shame to all his family"

2) An unfortunate development
I think TomArrow meant '2' and you read '1'.

EDIT: 2) is used very frequently by English speakers(to mean unfortunate, eg its a shame),
1) more rarely used (eg shame on you).
EDIT: Missed out some additional meanings and verbs for the word 'Shame'.

EDIT: "Its a pity", can also be used to mean unfortunate, and could possibly also be misconstrued.

Yep, that's what I meant. I didn't mean to put shame on anybody. :)

Thank you for the clarification, I usually release my negative thoughts in five minutes at most; it's a shame I didn't learn English idioms properly :)
