With the various arguments about whether Topaz Labs new product "JPEG to RAW" actually can turn a JPEG into a 16 bit TIFF or DNG file.
The usual argument in favour of using RAW is that a JPEG, being only 8 bits, has lost too much digital information for it to become a 16 bit file.
So here is a little test - I have posted 2 images on my Flickr site, can you tell the difference?
A little hint - both were processed in J2R then edited exactly the same way.
They are both 100% crops.
