Simply stated: I think Arthur is wrong! ;-)
I have several images on my web photo galleries who gave me a headache with
posterisations in the (monochromatic) blue skies while editing.
A photo editing program working with 16 bit/channel and feeding it with the
maximum available bit-depth from the scanner would be the solution.
Unfortunately PSP (PS is to expensive for me) is working only with 8
bits/channel. VueScan is ideal in bringing all the information which my
scanner can find from film to my digital image, but is not designed to
manipulate the images.

Count me also to the 16 bit/channel club :-)
I have mentioned many times the following link which proves my statement
when this discussion about 8 bit/16 bit is going on again and again:

Advise to newbies: don't believe Arthur and don't believe Bert, Frank or me.
But if you have posterisation after manipulation of your image, you know the
source of your problem!
