adjustments in PS you need to be in 8-bit mode.

Simon, actually any tonal adjustment that might be necessary for B&W
print work is available in 16 bit mode. If you prefer to use
adjustment layers, work on an 8 bit dupe, and transfer over your
adjustments to the hi bit file when ready.
Of course, you won't be be to paste a cute little ducky into a
mountain lake, but that's an entirely different subject.
By the way, the recomendations for special software seem moot, PS7's
sharpen filter works in 16 bit.
