I always give this caveat. I’m not technical. LR always used to open into Photoshop in 16 bit. If I only opened in ACR, the images opened into Bridge in 16 bit.
Now that I have CC 2018 with LR Classic, everything opens in 8 bit. I can’t find where to change that. Back in the day, before CC, each new PS I bought I had to struggle to find where to set it up. Now, nothing is the same. The target seems to move. Considering how many pros use these products, I think the default should be 16 bit. NOT 8!!!
If anyone can point me step>by>step I would be grateful.
