[Digital BW] Re: 16 Bit vs. 8 Bit for BO

2004-01-05 by Bob Michaels

Clayton, while I fully agree with your second sentence (postrized or
not....), I do think BO has some relevance to the discussion. My
experience is that BO printing a "normal" neg typically requires minor
adjustments, thereby 8 bit editing has a bearing.
