Charles,

for your benefit, please use a subject line appropriate to your message. You 
are likely to get more responses than simply using the Digest title.

Regarding Photoshop's 16 bit mode: Try this: Open an 8 bit grayscale image, 
and convert it to 16. Then explore what is and what is not available in the 
layers and tools. Most notably, layers are still not supported in PS 6. But 
cloning and levels/curves are. Look at earlier messages (one recently by M. 
Kravit) that outline the process of bypasssing the lack of layer support.

If you are new to this, you may also consider a well-written book on the 
subject such as Real World Photoshop 6.
