Re: Digital Negatives with enough Tones for Pt/Pd
May I lend my support to Wayde on this?

Absolutely not, but a clever red herring. What is in fact demonstrated by
your example is that in order to maintain the same resolution, then the
number of discrete tones _must be_ increased proportionally to the increase
in dynamic range of the subject. It does not prove the existence of the
dependent relationship you suggest at all. (BTW the relationship of the
dynamic range to the actual number of tones might be linear, as per your
analogy, but how that relates to the bit depth is obviously not linear. But
you used the example, not me.)
In the last week Jeffrey, you have sent a number of emails to the list which
can only be described as pompous and offensive, including one in which you
flamed some poor individual and told him how wrong you thought he was in
numerous lines of capitals, the net equivalent of shouting at the top of
your voice.
Now you clearly intend to give Wayde a good doing because he had the
temerity to pick you up on what was either a pretty basic misapprehension,
or an example of you expressing yourself very badly. No-one, may I remind
you, is right all the time, and all the clever semantics in the world will
not make them so.
You can reply all you like, but you're now blocked at this station. Zapped
straight into the bin, my old mucker.
