I quote for the DxO Raw Engine and DxO Optics Pro 2.0 : "full 16 bit processing and RAW image data, vignetting and Blur corrections are subtler and more accurate than what is possible within the constraints of an 8bit jpeg image". Douglas http://www.dxo.com/en/photo/optics_pro/pdf/dxo_optics_pro-price_list_2004-09-29.pdf here's their latest price list as of Photokina, the 16-bit Raw 2.0 version should be out soon. I think we'll have to wait and see until it's tested against PS.
