FlexColor - Saving as 16bit .tif files?

I'm opening images in Flexcolor and working on them before saving as .tif files. When I open these files in Photoshop I notice they are 8bit rather than 16bit. Is there any way of having the .tif files retain the 16bit of the RAW files?

I'm sure I'm doing something daft here, any help appreciated.

Any reason you are not using Phocus instead of Flexcolor? Much better software in my humble opinion

Hi Woody, yes, I'd love to be using Focus, but it'll have to wait until next month when I take delivery of the new super computer!

Best

You can do it in either the capture window (per image) or in the setup window if you want it to stick:
