I'm glad it works for you. 

Unfortunately, I only have Photoshop 5.0 LE, and not the full version.
The version I use has no provision for opening "RAW" files. The only
16 bit-per-color  images that I know for certain it will open are
images in PSD or TIFF formats.

I'm currently looking for a suitable conversion utility that will
convert 48 bpp POV images into either a PSD file, or an appropriate
TIFF file.

Speaking of 16 bit-per-color image formats. I looked all through the
Win-POV 3.1g docs for verification that POV-Ray can actually create
proper 16 bit images in formats other than PNG. I  couldn't find a
single reference that actually confirmed POV could write 16 bit PPM
images, TGA images, or anything else other than PNG.

Yes, I realize if one sets the "bits per color" to 16, that the
message window claims things like "48 bpp PPM" or "48 bpp TGA", during
a rendering, but these formats don't seem to be documented. At least,
I couldn't find mention of them in the docs.


Later,
Glen
