Digital BW, The Print

I think shooting in Jpeg and Converting to 16 bit is a waste of time.
Just shooting in Jpeg tosses out about ½ your pixels.  Changing to 16 bit I
don’t think is going to save you much.

 

As pointed out earlier if you are going to shoot jpeg, keep in your original
resolution until you get to your final know output size.

 

Regards,

Paul

Subject: [Digital BW] Am I destroying image quality

 

Am I destroying image quality by my workflow?

1) I shoot JPEG and convert to 16-bit using the "mode" in CS to do editing.
I convert back 
to 8-bit to save and before printing. Am I actually achieving anything? Am I
affecting my 
image negatively?

2) If I change the image size up and down, does that alter the digital file
or affect image 
quality? I usually save the image in its original file size/resolution, but
sometimes change 
image size several times on the file I'm using to print.

Cheers,
George Le Masurier
