RE: Misc Multi Pro/VueScan/16-bit stitching

["gary" <gsellani@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can't cut and paste 16 bit images in PS6, but rather have to convert to
8 bit first. For panoramic stitching, this is an annoyance because you would
like to combine all images together in 16 bit mode so that they can be image
adjusted at the same time. What I do is run the level adjustment for each
image to get the histogram limits required, find limits that will
accommodate all images (i.e. the smallest min and the largest max among all
the images), then adjust the levels using these limits for all individual
images. Convert them to 8 bits and they can be stitched.
