I never work in any other mode than 16 bit, it preserves data and
prevents 'hstogram jaggies' that cause posterization. I convert to 8 bit
as the last step before saving the final jpeg.

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
