For %99.99999 of all COLOR images, Dan is in fact correct.  This topic has
in fact been beaten to death.  The challenge to people who think Dan (and I
as well) are wrong, is to provide an image that shows you can't do the color
correction you want in 8 bit.  The only images people have been able to
provide that show this are ones that have been quite poorly scanned in the
first place, or were real horrible images to begin with...both requiring
very large tonal moves to correct.  When rescanned, correctly, the images
were able to be easily corrected using 8 bits/color.  For images that are
just bad in the first place, well, typically, even 16 bits won't save them
;-)

Again, this does not apply to B&W images, which is what this forum is about.

Regards,

Austin
