My cousin teaches commercial photography at what is possibly 'the' 
course in Melbourne and pointed out to me at the weekend the problem 
of 'chasing the technology.' They are assessing student work as if 
that banding does not exist because they know that by the time they 
graduate, they'll be using Photoshop 8 where full 16 bit adjustment 
will be available.
Camera ready copy for his book on using PS8 is due at Focal Press on 
Dec. 5th - he's starting to look tired at the effort of keeping up 
now that the agenda for the entire industry is set by Adobe.
I ready must spend more time with him - then I might be able to 
follow this thread better!
