On the last set of Mom hands I showed (where most liked them, not her hand and mine, the one where I asked if the thumb was too light), someone sent me a variation that I liked.
He said he used 16 bit to get more subtle variation in tones. I notice when one imports a RAW into PS one can import it as 16 bit. So I am wondering how many of you do that? Specifically when making a B&W conversion. But also with color. Does it make a difference if you later save it as a JPEG (8-bit)? Can you get sublter tonal values for B&W? (And maybe subtler color ranges for color?) Or is it all lost again when one saves it later as an 8-bit? Probably someone has asked this before, I vaguely remember that they have. But I wasn't paying attention then. :-) TIA, Marnie
