48 bit yields around 16 million colors. That may be a lot for your head, but your eye can see at least that many.
Furthermore, many colors that your eye can see cannot be either displayed or printed.

Right on as AJC informed me. 16 bits per channel!?! As I understand it, 8 bit gives 256 to the third colors; that seems to be an adequate spectrum. 2 to the 48th (hope I got my decimal point in the correct place 🙂 ) is past my comprehension.

Hi;
This is normal;you’ll have to convert your image to 8 Bit. I understand that Photoshop CS is capable of working
in 16 bit mode.

I just installed Nikon’s Capture 4 and when I manipulate a RAW image in it and save it as a TIFF, many of PhotoShop’s drop-downs are grayed out. Is this normal or have I missed something?
