Do I loose quality or colour information if I transfer to 8 bit and later back to 16 bit to do some more work? Does the repeated transfer between 16 and 8 bit harm the image? Also - about long term storage. To save space. 8 bit saves me a lot of space, but do I destroy permanently information by doing so - even after bringing back to 16 bit? Thanks Klaus
