Hi Laurent,

thanks for the feedback.

To be pedantic it should be called "Lift width constraint for non-8bpp 
formats" :)

That's true, this subtle difference should be accounted for. Thanks.

Thanks for this suggestion. This sounds much better.

I was wondering how to shorten this calculation without using ? operator, 
nice.

That's neat, thanks. I'll update accordingly.

Best regards,
