I edit most of my images in 8 bits with a curves layer. I have thought
of something and wish to ask you if this method can make a difference:
1) From the 8 bits file with curve layer: Save the curve, then trash it.
2) Convert the file in 16 bits, then apply the curve that has been
saved,
3) Finally revert to 8 bits and save the file. Is this supposed to
produce a smoother result than simply flatten the 8 bits image in the
first place?
Now, the same for converting into another profile: 8 bits or 16 bits?
Thanks!
Paul
