[filmscanners] Re: 8 bit versus 16
Yup, I'm in "category 1" too. If you're going to work on the image, 16-bit
makes a huge
difference--many operations, especially big curve or gamma adjustments, throw
away bits.
The goal is to still have 8 bits of information left when you're done. Starting
at 8 bits
that's pretty tough. But if you're not going to "work" the image, if you're
going to make
all your adjustments in the scanning program, then yes, 8 bits is plenty.
