I don't think you will find any smoother, more subtle tonal transitions than that.OK Mark, you're a big boy... I think you can take this: Where is it written that "smoother, more subtle tonal transitions" are the essence of great photography, let alone great "art"???? Not that I know enough about the topic to deny it, but I'm trying to learn. Can you explicate? (And is there somewhere I can see this Nautilus Shell on my two-bit computer screen? It might help my education.) Meanwhile, I think it's EXTREMELY interesting that this hotshot service got away with 8 bit as 16 for .... how long? a year? 2 years? 25 years ? (And just for the record, my gums are 16 bit. Certified.) J.
