There just aren't any 16-bit image "editing" programs far as I know, except
for Mark Gordon mentioning the Hollywood Gimp which is (good) news to me.
Fractint can output 16 bit fractal images, but no control over them like a
hand-drawn picture.
There's a chance you could use your 8-bit image in a image_map pigment on a
plane and then focal blur it with very fine settings.  Sorry if that's been
said already.  Then just output using 'hf_grey_16 on' in the
'global_settings'.  Obviously not a perfect solution.
