I actually do both, save as 16bit PSD in ProPhotoRGB for archive and
JPEG in sRGB for display and printing. I've got an action that does all
this for me when I'm done editing.

Ditto. But I rarely save as jpeg. I save full-size files as tiffs.

I never work in any other mode than 16 bit, it preserves data and
prevents 'hstogram jaggies' that cause posterization. I convert to 8

On the last set of Mom hands I showed (where most liked them, not

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. :-)
