From: "Austin Franklin" <darkroom@...> Subject: RE: The old "8 x 16 bits" again...But worth reading! Andre, Read what he is discussing VERY carefully. He is discussing COLOR, NOT B&W. They are entirely different in the regard he is discussing. It is fine to use 8 bits/color for color, as you get 24 bits total (3 x 8), but for B&W, it is not as "forgiving", and you can severely degrade the image doing tonal manipulations in 8 bits/pixel.
