Well, that brings up a whole new subject. Since your are going to convert to
8 bit mode for final output, I think that better than doing Mode changes,
although I'm not put out much by that either. Such discussions (16 bit
editing vs 8 bit, and mode changes back and forth) are too much theory and
to little actual perception in the image.
