16 bit mode for Illustrator
When creating Illustrations with gradients, we can only use 8bits. When imported in Photoshop or After Effects 16bits projects, the gradients stick to this poor 8bits - resulting in banding.
Especially when working on normal/displacement maps for 3d materials, 8bits is not enough.
How great would it be if Illustrator had a possibility to switch to 16 or 32 bit mode!

Need 16 bits!!! I'm working on a document using 16 bit images of a model and would like to retain the 16 bit output for the final print!!! Add this feature please. Actually can't believe it converts images to 8 bit!!!
