And the compression-algorithms get better and better

Same applies to the idea of having 16 bits per channel.
It sounds excessive, but if you for instance only have
a greyscale image, the R, G and B channels will store
the same value, which is recognized by the compression
algorithm easily.

This effectively leads to filesizes you'd normally only
reach with paletted images, and in some cases bz2 even
beats png's compression, for instance when you're dealing
