---------------------

Dan Margulis has been writing about manual methods of color-correction
similar to Shadow/Highlight in PSCS but using luminosity blends and blurs
instead of the S/H sub-routines. An article in the Sept. Issue of Electronic
Publishing covers some of the techniques, and the current issue has more.

As to the need for 16-bit edits, if you can provide Dan with any real-world
color photo image that shows any benefit when edited in 16-bit vs. 8-bit,
there are several guys on the Applied Color Theory discussion group that
will be forever in your debt.
