I work in 8-bit in Photoshop CS. I currently have 1.24 GB of memory. I wanted
to increase the resolution thinking that it will help with my wallpapers.
However, when I increased it to 16-bit, I lost the ability to do a lot of the
filters! I researched on-line and they said I should have at least 512 megs of
memory. I am way over that. So why isn't it working? And which bit do you
guys work in? Is it worth it to be 16-bit?
well... if Ur working on a mac, sometimes U decide how much of that memory U'll
use for some programs... maybe Urs is set to be under that... I think U can chek
that some where at preferences or in the "about photoshop cs"
option... I wouldn't be sure tho
I am still using PS7 myself and i work in 8-bit, 16-bit is known to cause effect
issues, mainly being used for PNG's and GIF's. Working in 8-bit is fine for your
walls
hope this helps
16-bit per channel is overkill imho... I'm just fine with 4 8 bit channels...
After all, if you're only using 8-bit image sources, there's never going to be a
need for the extra 8-bits...
16-Bit is used well when you do major changes with the saturation and contrast
of an image. When you adjust an image in any way, you lose data and gain noise.
Making some of the changes in 16-bit means that you'll save detail in
comparison to 8-bits (which gains more noise when you tweak the image in that
setting).
i always use 16-bit the first time I adjust my photos as the pixel data is
preserved quite well. But if it's for working with walls, don't worry about
it.

Thanks!! ^_^
That's a tough one >.>! I never really pay attention to that! *checks*I usually work in 16 bits, but I wouldn't know any difference
