Photoshop by the Numbers: Bit Depth

Bit Depth pt.1 - 8-bit and 16-bit compared

Should we edit in 8-bit or 16-bit? Before answering that question, I investigate what the 8 extra bits mean.

Bit Depth pt. 2 - The magic of 32-bit coding

Bit Depth pt.3 - 32-bit, HDR and tone mapping

This article not only shows how to construct a 32-bit image file from multiple exposures, but also how to convert it back to 8-bit.
