Additionnal off-topic ad: Irfanview is *my* image viewer
under Windows. Small, fast, intelligent memory usage.
And free.

Heh - when I first started playing with graphics, I always used JPG, not
realising the cost. I thought my eyesight was just deteriorating really
quickly...

Can you name a typical desktop machine (Windows, Mac, Linux) which can
work with 16 bits per channel? I know of none. However, graphics
workstations like SGI can, and do, use 48bpp color (or 64, with
alpha). So it all comes down to the definition of "professional" :)

I have processed succesfully 16bpc images in Win98SE Photostop.
You are mixing presentation with processing. 8bpc is enough
for visual presentation of images with contrast ratios of less
than 200.

And now there's going to be a lot of quibbling over that, too.

8-bit color? Ugh, why would you want to? Use Photoshop or something for that...

I don't exactly *want* to, I *have* to. Besides. I don't have Photoshop, and
even if I did I doubt it can mass-process all the images in a folder.

Of course, that's my answer to everything...

In fact, any image conversor suffices, even if it can convert just one image
at a time, as long as it can be used from the command line and you are using
a regular unix shell.
One of the main problems in a windowed-only interfaces (read: Windows) is
that if a program doesn't support something (eg. doing something to a series
of files instead of just one file), then there's nothing you can do about it,
you just have to live with it.
The great thing about an OS that supports a proper command line/scripting
language is that the programs don't have to support things like that as you
can automatize its functionality for several targets at a time.
(And now 90% of people reading this will think that I hate windowed
interfaces. *sigh*)
