Which brings up a point. If, during the RAW conversion process, you are
able to achieve the tonal and color rendition close to final output, then
there is little reason to convert to 16bit. 16bit is helpful for heavy
editing, but if there is no editing to be done, why bother?
During the RAW conversion process, the RAW converter is working in higher
bit-depth than 8-bit and the decision to save as 16-bit or 8-bit has no
affect on how the RAW converter actually performs.
