ALL image editing loses data. High bit format loses less data than low bit. 
Photoshop uses high bit formats for most of its adjustments, so most of the 
advantage is already hidden in there, even when working with low bit files. Big 
adjustments to low bit files will cause problems, which see only minor relief 
from conversion to high bit before processing. The real answer is to capture in 
high bit in the first place.
