Digital BW, The Print

One of the major advantages with 16 bit images (If you
use Photoshop CS or CS2) is that you lose very little
when processing the images compared to 8 bit. Once you
have completed all processing, you can then save to an
8 bit file to reduce file size for storage.

It is an interesting experiment to process in both 8
bit and then 16 bit modes and watch the histogram for
"combing." You will immediately see the advantage of
16 bits.
