At that point, you can do 16bits per channel editing via web browser. > > > Cheers > > Brian > > ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > Brian Walters > Western Sydney Australia > http://members.westnet.com.au/brianwal/SL/ > > > > On Dec 29, 2007 4:58 PM, Cory Papenfuss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > >> Even if you start with an 8 bit image, it's best to make it 16 bit > > >> before making any adjustments--that way, you're not clamping values at > > >> each step.
