Are you also converting to sRGB when you convert to 8bit, or is it all staying 
linear? The layer blending will definitely change if you change colourspace, 
there's no way around that AFAIK. But if you are staying in linear or staying 
in sRGB, I'm not sure where your colour shifts are coming from? 

Cheers,

The problem is that we need to get 8 bit layered TIFs out of Photoshop. I think 
the first problem is that the Photoshop blending is profoundly affected by the 
bit depth. 











The second problem is that if Nuke does a 1D lookp table conversion from one 
kind of RGB to another 
(including bit depth upgrades), Photoshop goes via Lab so what is happening is 
more like to a 3D LUT. 


What happens in your case is that probably Photoshop is converting the layers 
first, and then the result of the blending 
modes changes the way the images look. Maybe it's an issue with layer mask and 
front unpremultiplication and conversion. 


For me the first thing to check would be the PS profile settings for 8-bit RGB. 
Also, where do the discrepancies occur the most? 
Blended layer edges? Maybe your workflow needs to be related to manually 
unpremulting layers by the layer transparency and 
preadjusting the transparency grays...
