Oh, and one more thing, that I have been meaning to ask for ages, and I fear that I may be opening a can of worms here <vbg> but can someone explain to me about "bits" ie what is the difference between 8 bit and 16 bit files?
*tan runs for cover as all the tech heads begin to furiously type trying to beat each other to the best explanation* lol!

And now for the onslaught of questions...
Can someone explain to me exactly how RAW works? I understand that it gives you a file that is captured exactly as you see it, without colour correction, compression etc. Does this also mean that the contrast/saturation/sharpness/noise reduction settings on the camera are irrelevant?
In the PS CS Raw Plug-in... When I adjust the "Sharpness" and the "colour noise" settings it doesn't seem to make any difference to what I see on screen, can anybody explain this?
How do the changes you make in the Plug In software (eg, saturation/contrast)differ to when you make the same adjustments within PS?
What does the "Luminance Smoothing" control do?
With regards to Chromatic Aberration, what does R/C and B/Y stand for - Red/Cyan, Blue/Yellow??
On the "callibrate" tab - are these colour controls just a different way of "Colour balancing" an image? What other applications do they have?
I think I love RAW...!
TIA, tan.
