Digital BW, The Print

Charles
I only have PS 5 and can work in 16bit. All levels/curves, cloning 
and resizing can be done in 16bit. All the important bits. Filter 
work, in my version can only be done in 8bit. So if you really need 
to use filters (including dodging and burning)then convert to 8bit 
at the end.
