Color channels
If I convert my Raw files to .tiff files with 16 bits per color channel(as opposite to 8), what difference would it make for me?,
for stock agencies, if any?
Truly yours,

Your file size will be twice as large. If you are selling your work, I think you'd do well to archive your shots to CD in 16-bit. CD's are cheap. The reason is that any color or tonal correction can be done in high bit with more control, THEN the image can be changed to 8-bit. Each buyer will have to tell you what he requires for submission. For the image you initially submit to try to make a sale, you will have to go to 8-bit so that you can retouch and get the tones the way YOU want them. Just keep a high-bit archive in case the buyer wants something different.
