No, my copy of Photoshop is old (v. 4, for memory reasons) and barely
acknowledges 16-bit channels. If not for that, I might have done so. The
lighting would have come out better that way.

It could just as easily be generated with radiosity and/or even an area
light (and the latter would probably be far faster). The only reason I
did it was just for the hell of it, not because it's particularly useful
or efficient. ;)
