Whats the difference between an 8-bit scan and a 16-bit scan?
An 8-bit scan produces a file that has 256 color tones in each of its Red, Green, and Blue channels. This yields an image capable of displaying 16.7 million unique colors. A 16-bit scan produces a file that has 65,536 color tones in each of its R, G, and B channels. This yields an image capable of displaying 281 trillion unique colors. See next topic.
