Javier, the big difference is having the larger number of tonal values for
the lesser bit depth actually shown to be made up from. As a practical
example, when you edit a picture tonally the result is much smoother
graduation.

Howdy everyone. Simple question
I grew up being told that 24 bit was the photographic standard.
Beyond that the eye couldn't tell the difference.
But now video cards have 32 bit or more and scanners even have 
up to 96 bit. Is it possible to tell between 24 and higher bit rate coulour
depth?
What changed?
Javier
