RGB, 8-bit, and sRGB: what to check in a Live2D PSD
RGB, 8-bit/channel, and sRGB are separate settings. This guide explains what each one means and what to confirm before handing a PSD to Live2D Cubism.
Your PSD is analyzed in your browser and is not uploaded to our server.
Run the local PSD checkKeep the three settings separate
- RGB is the document color mode.
- 8-bit/channel is the tonal depth setting for each channel.
- sRGB is a color profile used to interpret color.
- RGB and 8-bit are import conditions; sRGB is a color-consistency check.
- Confirm the image mode and profile in the authoring application before saving.
RGB is the color mode
Live2D's official notes state that RGB is the color mode supported for PSD import into Cubism Editor. A grayscale or CMYK document can fail the import conditions even when its layer structure is organized.
8-bit/channel is tonal depth
8-bit/channel describes how many tonal values are available in each color channel. The official guide lists 8-bit/channel as the import setting rather than 16-bit/channel or 32-bit/channel.
sRGB is a color reference
sRGB is a reference profile used by applications and displays to interpret color. Live2D's guide warns that a non-sRGB profile can cause unintended color changes during PSD import, so confirm the profile on the final file.
Use the color-management documentation for your authoring application when converting a profile, then check the saved PSD again.
What RigCheck can verify
RigCheck reads RGB and 8-bit values from the PSD header and cautiously reports an explicitly readable embedded ICC profile. If the profile cannot be verified, it is not treated as an sRGB pass. Use the authoring application to confirm the setting as well.
