From 8 bit to 16 bit

Chris Clarin
hi, i have a code which loads 8 bit images into a window. This works
perfectly for a function handling an unsigned char data type. I cannot
however make it work for 16 bit grayscale images. What do you think may be
the problem of my program? Do i have to change the type of data (in this
case unsigned char) that it is handling or do i have to do other
manipulations like manipulate more of the image properties, etc? What makes
16 bit images different form 8 bit images? what properties do i have to
handle? thank you very much. I really am in need of help since I am new in
this field and I'd really like to know more of the difference between 8 bit
and 16 bit images.

thanks.

Christine
