I see no reason to retain a 16-bit processed image. I shoot raw and do
all the pixel brightness manipulations in ACR. Once brightness,
contrast, saturation, levels, etc, etc have been done I save the output
as a JPEG. From that point on further editing (such as fixing the
boo-boo with the clone tool) doesn't touch pixel brightness levels
except for final sharpening at print resolution.
If neither your display nor prints can show the 16-bit color/luminosity
detail why keep it?
