I've been shooting digital images in raw mode. When I process them thru the Minolta camera software I save them as 42 bit tiff files. When I bring them into PS they are opened in 16 bit mode. Now, in order to do anything but the most basic of operations on them I have to change them to 8 bit mode, I know that I'm losing color information when I do this, but does it make any sense to reconvert them back to 16 bit after I'm finished processing them. It's not something I've been doing but the thought passed thru my mind if I should be, especially if I'm going to print? So what do my techno babes think? Donald? Misha?

I am, therefore I create.......
