[QUOTE="jimjamz, post: 109201, member: 12682"] After reading [URL="http://www.hdrsoft.com/resources/dri.html#bit_depth"]here[/URL], it seems that 16-bit depth would be a waste of time as the CCD sensor is capable of only 14-bit, hence the upscale save would result in a similar (or the same) as an 8-bit saved image. As I said, I saved both images from a 32-bit .hdr file into both a 16-bit then an 8-bit TIF image respectively. Using comparison tools such as Beyond Compare and their picture comparison features, even they couldn't spot any differences in pixels. The comparison tools are also not limited to what a printer or monitor can see so it gives both the exact result and states whether they are the same (even binary equivalence) and would graphically show the difference in pixels, if the monitor can show them.
