but you need to sart with 16bit data
coverting 8 bit to 16 bit will just give you twice as much 8 bit data
more data meaning higher resolution or just bigger files with no particular advantage?

That too. 🙂
OK I see. Anyway though to tell when opening a new image whether it is an 8 or 16 bit image. Say an image from a digital still camera for instance.
by reading the users manual PDF, that is on the install disk.
Doesn’t it appear in the title bar? Alas, I am not able to get to my Mac right now.

Claude,
Photoshop > Image menu > Mode > (8 bits/channel; 16 bits/channel).
Not all digital cameras can record 16 bit images.
by looking at the top of the image window
