| SECOND EDIT: Anyone think 8bit processing is not a bad thing, and reasons why.
8 bit processing works fine for me. I work in RGB and 8 bit fits within the color space.
I've tried using the 16 bit processing and saw no difference in prints. I agree that 16 bit will give smoother colors when you do the math, but on most folks systems it's 8 bit for display and printer. I imagine if you've got a 16 bit printer and switch to prophoto rgb or wide gamut rgb , you can pick up a few more colors. Problem being
would you see these on your display as you make your adjustments or would they just show up once printed ? |
