Printing, don't forget printing. The best printers can handle more bits
more effectively.
I'm willing to be convinced otherwise, but I tend to disbelieve this.
The human eye can only resolve about 2,000 different colors, so
PRINTING more bits shouldn't result in any discernible difference.
The only reason I could imagine would be to reduce the "combing" I
mentioned in another message, but only if the printer was doing some
value range processing.
I've been researching and using high-end printers for three years,
and I haven't come across one that would even print a 48 bit TIFF. If
I send a 48 bit file to my 50" giclee printer or either of my color
lasers, they barf on it!
