Hi All,
I am very new to DP and would appreciate any help and advice here.
Please can you help, I have purchased adobe elements 4.0 and noticed that when I open a raw image, it forces me to convert the image to 8 bit colour depth!
Please can anyone tell me: what are the implaications of this?, will i get less quality image processing in 8bit?
,and if so, is there a way to use 16 bit in elements.
Cheers All,
Tony

For 16bit you'll have to go to the full Photoshop CS2 I'm afraid.
I assume you got PS Elements 4.0 used (and cheap), PS Elements is currently at version 5 as far as I know.

when you open the ACR look at the bottom left. Elements has limited support for 16 bits.

| If you make all of your major tonal changes during the conversion, you're not likely to see significant artifacts from subsequent editing in 8-bit mode. If, however, you do a lot of selective adjustment of color and tonality after the conversion, that's another thing entirely. If you find that you really need 16-bit support, then Photoshop CS at minimum is required, better CS2. |
