image processing: 8 or 16bits?

2010-05-07 by Sylvain

Hi all,

As a Gimp user,  I'm just wondering whether the 16bits (not available on Gimp but only on PS) is really an advantage for B&W pictures.  Did any one make a comparison between 8 and 16bits processing, in the case of a standard image retouching? Is there really a difference on the final print?
