The files are about 56MB in size when saved as a photoshop file. I seem to remember somewhere that it was advised that after manipulating the photo to convert it to 8 bit Tiff format to save. If I could use compressed Tiff format, that would greatly increase the number of images I could put on a CD> By all means save as 8 bit, the main advantage of 16-bit is to be able to correct density and color and not leave gaps (missing pixels) in your histogram (tooth comb). Once density and color are corrected change to 8 bit. There are a few exceptions to this but can be used as a general rule.
