Hello. I have a question about adjustment layers. Are they affected by the bit-depth of the document? It is my guess that they are not since the controls only offer 8-bit values to work with.
The goal is to reduce 16-bit layered files to 8-bit and save to disk using a scaled-down image. Should corrections be needed later, then the 16-bit full size image is still available (in the camera RAW format) and then the adjustment layers can be copied back from the scaled 8-bit image. I am not concerned with any issues regarding resolution or bit-depth of layer masks…
Does anyone see anyting wrong with this workflow?
Is there any documentation anywhere that states whether adjustment layers are bit-depth dependent or not?
Thanks!
Ken
