'fraid so. For all the theory, hardware will impose its own limitations. What might be
millions of colours can turn into a fraction of that, and as soon as you start pulling
'em around in software anything can happen. It's no criticism of the Acer, I've done
extreme things to high bit files from several scanners and sooner or later even 16bits
ain't enough.
