Depending on your needs you can select the method of processing you would like to use. In most situations 8-bit processing provides good results, however, 16-bit processing gives noticeable improvement in large images with a gradient in one color over a large area.
To select processing method:
1. Click Edit Quick Sets. On the Edit Quick Set dialog click Advanced. The Output tab will be displayed (Figure 1).
2. At the bottom of the Processing group Bit Depth combo box is displayed. Choose the processing method you would like to use from the drop-down menu. Click OK.
