Hi
I discover that Qi (Ultimate) has changed the color bit depth in processed images from 16 to 8 !! (Where) can I change this behavior? I can't find anything under Prefs or Color Management. Also searching the Help for "bit depth" returns nothing relevant, nor does searching this forum.

Qimage Ultimate is an 8 bit application, mainly due to the fact that Windows prints as 8 bit as I understand it. Mike has written articles about this matter see below.
