Thanks!

Either I'm vision-impaired, or I just haven't seen that little tidbit in the POV
docs, in either the hf_gray_16 section or the one on HFs. Perhaps it should be
obvious... though my initial thought was that setting the original rendering to
hf_gray_16 would take care of that.

Details, details...

So if the file_type has to be manually set to .png, and the Bits_Per_Color to
16--what exactly does global{hf-gray-16} do?? Besides making the image
gray-scale?  Hmm, perhaps that IS its only purpose, to eliminate unnecessary
color channels. Gee, I feel smarter already!
