Will 16-bit Image imporove the Resulting Mesh?

[holgar]

I wonder if 16-Bit Tiff Images will result in a better Mesh-Creation? Or is  8-Bit jpg just fine.
Thank you in advance. Holger

8bit should be just fine. I have seen no difference when shooting and processing RAW images. The only bonus is the extra control you have over the final texture at the end. The resulting mesh quality is no better or worse.

All that happens is your processing times can quadruple!

Thank you for the Answer. I guess I will stick to 8-Bit than...processing speed is more relevant.
