Probably 16 bit editing is being hyped up too much - Google searching on this topic almost made me to conclude that 8 bit editing of photos were only for amateurs and for snapshot photography and any serious pohtographer has to edit in 16 bit.

Thanks once again

I am afraid you get this elitism all the time.

The truth is that professional photographers rarely sell their work to other professional photographers. They sell them to the general public...who wouldnt recognise 16bit if it poked them in the face.

Even many of the editors at publications are clueless about the basics.

I had a US magazine phone me a couple of years back...

"Your file is too low resolution"
"No its not"
When I open it in Photoshop, its 72dpi"
"Its an eps file...you set what size you want it to be when you open it"
"Yes, but its still only 72dpi"

Deep sigh...

"Have you got Photoshop open now?"
"Yes"
"Open the file and tell me what the first window says"
"Like I said before...it says its 72dpi !!!!"
"So change the figure to 300dpi"

"OH ...its the right size now..whats heppening there?"
"You are downsampling my image to the default setting of 72dpi"

"Wow thats never happened before....someone must have played with the settings"

"Have a nice day"
