Quote - Do you know if poser accept 16bit greyscale files, like tiff-files or does it convert back to 8bit bitmaps?
Yes Poser 7 does support 16-bit precision TIFF files for displacement. The original Poser 7 had a bug in it where it misbehaved by always reading a 1 value in the blue channel of the TIFF, but I reported that bug and they fixed it.
There was quite a long thread about that here, where I gave a way to ignore the bad data from the blue channel. We don't need to worry about that any more, but the thread is still interesting to read.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
