A more enlightened reading of Jaime's original post tells me that I was
completely confused about what he meant (and I probably confused others by my
question.) It's clear now; he was describing a solution to the question in the
original post, a technique for taking a 16-bit .png image and re-rendering it to
be a different file type, one that could be used to make a 16-bit HF in case the
..png image itself didn't work.

But as others have said, a 16-bit .png image works as-is.

All clear. I'm off and running!
