When will somebody *actually* make a 16-bit grayscale editor that works? 
  One you can actually use paint tools with. I remember Wilbur, but it 
had very unpredictable results. I'm thinking the time is nearing that I 
should make one, since nobody else is jumping to it. I'm afraid it will 
be too slow, however, because I would be using Euphoria, and may or may 
not be able to compile the code.
The POV-Ray docs give a clue as to how a person might make build the 
colors. I've looked at a 16-bit grayscale image in a paint program and 
keep thinking it might not be that hard to get the red and green colors 
to build up that way. You would just have to make the program paint to 
both the screen as 8-bit grayscale, and paint to disk as the red & green 
version simultaniously..... Then it's a matter of implementing 
alpha-masked paint tools.....
