Re: [Digital BW] 8x16 bits and BW

2002-05-23 by Jerry Olson

To all who think 8 bit color correcting is identical to 16. Just try it
yourself with one of your own images. One scanned in 16 bit, and one in
8. Make identical adjustments.

If you can't see any difference, there is something VERY weird going on...
