Not strictly an 8 versus 16 question, but sort of

2003-04-29 by Garry Sarre

1/ is upsizing in PS Bicubic 16bit superior to upsizing in 8bit.

2/ Apart from levels and curves tonal adjustments, what else 
degrades image quality in 8bit more than 16bit.

3/ When Printing B&W from an RGB image does changing from 16bit RGB 
to 16bit greyscale (editing on smaller file size)and then back to 
RGB for printing degrade the image more than simply staying in RGB 
all the way?

Any help appreciated
