Re: Faux pyro for Epson 1280

Hello Sandy,

There is a lot of benefit to work in 16 bits for all action in Photoshop
this help to avoid comb's histogram as we call it in french. BUt when you
arrive at the desire file you can switch to 8 bits. Why because the
modification made by the coloration will keep the 256 gray levels.

But you could do the same if you don't use indexed colors. when you arrive
at the final image you can switch to 8 bits. But 16 bits help to make
perfect image without loss in gray levels.

At last I don't find any interest in going back in rgb 16 bits after
applying the index color.

I don't have PS CS which look great for working in 16 bits so I have to
duplicate my image , put it 8 bit to do some finer selection. When I work on
my file I only work with curves and levels.

Amicalement
best regards
