Hi guys -

I have a few questions regarding the above named title. I have searched online but everything I find tends to give me more information than I really am looking for ...too much overload on my tiny pea brain!

When I bring photos into Photoshop, they are set at 16-bit. Some of the actions I have require the photo to be in 8-bit for them to run. So, if I change my photo to 8-bit to use that action, should I leave it set to 8-bit to say run other actions that would also run in 16-bit or if I want to apply any textures? Does it change or degrade the thus far edited image any if I move it back to being set at 16-bit. Or, even if that is the only action I run and I'm done ...should I save and/or print the photo in 8-bit or move it back to 16-bit ...or does it make any difference. On my screen, I don't see any difference at all. If I am going to print the photo, would it be better to not use actions that require switching to 8-bit?

Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!

Denise
