If you have a picturefile which is made, scanned or photographed in a high bit mode and you save it in TIFF, PSD or another fileformat which can file in 16-bits, it stays a 16bits picture (digital photographs in RAW 12-bits).

R5 G6 B6 is the definition of only only one colour. That one colour will not be different in 8 bits or 16 bits.

Your question is a littlebit strange. It looks like you mix things which do not belong together…..?!

One way is to save an rgb file in tga or pict format. During the save operation, a dialog will come up allowing you to pick 16, 26, or 32 bits per pixel.

You need to use a file format that supports that arrangement (and you just specified 17 bits per pixel ;-).

Try BMP, and use the advanced options.

To actually quantise the image to 5-6-5, before saving, you can use my plugin: http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/#565 – which also applies diffusion dither.
