Digital BW, The Print

I can without a doubt, stand behind converting from 8 to 16 for EXTENSIVE
editing on smooth areas. I have seen this over all my years of working with
PS. (not that that has been  a life time but.7 years)   I found it to be a
questionable trade of before PS could handle 16 bit in many of the more
commonly used filters. There are of course times when even changing will not
help, and it may be more obvious to users of different out put devices and
output controls.

Clayton,
I ran the gist of the early part of this thread by some Adobe
engineers and beta testers. Aside from the standard "no benefit"
response (of which I was guilty as well), those who had actually tried
it concurred with your results, that in some cases bumping from 8 to
16bits before large edits yielded a benefit. The explanations were
more anecdotal, than an official Adobe position on the matter, but
thanks for putting this information out there. If I get any definitive
technical explanations from Adobe I'll pass them on.
