Andreas, Because Photoshop has limited options that work with 16-bit images. For example, you can't use layers in 16bit; you can't make selections directly (although you can convert the file to 8bit, make a selection, save it, and then load it into the 16bit original!); many filters don't work;

Ok, thanks. While there may be such a program out there, I have not seen one for PC systems to the best of my knowledge; Photoshop definitely is not one of them for either Mac or PC since it only allows one to do a few functions in 16-bit. The rest of the Photoshop operations like layers and

Tom, PS can! Use levels to make the image darker (or lighter), and then use history brush to burn (or dodge) with opacity control. Simple! Bob Frost. - Original Message - From: HPA [EMAIL PROTECTED] I wish i knew of a program that allowed dodging/burning in 16 bit, do you?

From: Roy Harrington A much better way to do burning/dodging that works in both 8 and 16 bit files is to use the History Brush. Simply select the History Brush, click on the current state in the History palette. Now the important part: the blending mode of the brush determines the

Hi Tom, Hello afx, I think the slowness is primarily due to the glacial speed that the scanner transfers data to the computer. Unless you have a really old scanner that uses a parallel or serial port, I'd doubt that the issue is data transfer from the scanner to the computer. Typically, it is

Roy, thanks for the response; I did not realize that this was the case. Somehow, I got the idea that by converting the selection fro 16 bit to 8 bit you lost data or information such that your manipulations were on a different subset of the data than was the case in the original which when loading
