For those printing with QTR your going to convert to 8 bit anyway. If not,
the printer driver will convert to 8 bit for you. So, other than having to
manually convert to use NIK, and maintain a separate file, the outcome is
the same.

I use FM, NIK and sometimes PS CS USM, and sometimes a combo. They all have
their place depending on the image and what you're doing with it.

BTW, at a recent seminal I attended, I aske the NIK rep about 16 bit. He
didn't give me a time frame, but did indicate that 16 bit was on their list
for a future upgrade.






Is this serious?  I use Nik on Grayscale files all the time without a
problem.  My only bitch is that you have to convert to 8 bit first.
