(Regardless of the raw vs jpg discussion) using 8 bits formats to store
photographs is just plain stupid.
Why the hell is anyone happy with a 0-255 dynamic range when modern CCDs
do a lot better (0-4095), film does a lot better and our eyes do a lot
better?
This reverence for the holly 8 bits byte has been pushed too far.
Maybe talk to the printer manufacturers
You want a print, it's gonna be an 8 bit output.
