I save full-rez as I also use the JPEG for printing. Save for Web won't
handle that.

If you use "save for web" your don't have to do a separate conversion,
it will save your 16 bit .psd as an 8 bit jpeg. I just do a "bicubic
sharper" downsize, and "save for web", then delete the downsized .psd
image without saving.

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.

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

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. :-)
