Hi Wayne,

> Applying a lookup table does not change the bit depth when saving in TIFF format.
   
Thanks for the info. My understanding is that TIFF formats are lossy, so for quantitative work on an image, only .txt or .png image formats are appropriate. I think the solution for me is then to save the PNG images in grayscale, so that the bit depth is maintained.
