I'll shut up, since I can't hold my own.
Not at all, I agree that 16 bit RGB files can make a difference, all my edits are executed and saved in 16 bit format. The problem here is that we are talking apples and oranges. A 12 bit (per pixel) RAW file can be de-mosaiced to produce a 16 bit (per colour channel per pixel ie 48 bits/pixel) RGB file. The bottom line is that the RAW data depth (be it 12 or 16 bits) generated using a 10MP APS sensor will produce a usable 16 bit RGB image file. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
