Well, I'm back to the "box" now after a long summer outdoors. Anyway, my scanner gives me a 16 bit option. My question is, if I scan into PS at 16 bits per channel and then change the image mode to 8 bits so I can have more editing options am I defeating myself? I mean, is the 16 bit depth from the scan preserved? Can I switch back to it after editing or is that necessary? I'm laboring under the impression that I may get a better print at 16 bits. [confused]

[QUOTE="RichardC, post: 2016, member: 17"] Well, I'm back to the "box" now after a long summer outdoors. :D Anyway, my scanner gives me a 16 bit option. My question is, if I scan into PS at 16 bits per channel and then change the image mode to 8 bits so I can have more editing options am I defeating myself? I mean, is the 16 bit depth from the scan preserved? Can I switch back to it after editing or is that necessary? I'm laboring under the impression that I may get a better print at 16 bits.
