Convert 8 bit to 16 bit?

JPGs are 8 bit images; I don't think you can convert them to 16 bits.

Yeah, you can't do that in Elements. You aren't missing out on anything anyway. Katrin Eismann terms this technique in her book ''Photoshop Restoration and Retouching'' on page 36 a voodoo maneuver. She states that this is a waste of time and that it doesn't improve the actual image information.
