Content Aware Fill

I have used Search, but have not found out the answer to my concern.

PSE requires me to convert my photo to 8-bit prior to being able to use Content Aware Fill. Does PS have this same limitation, or can I work in 16-bits which I prefer.

If PS does the latter, it is one more reason for me to migrate to the monthly subscription for both LR and PS. Thanks.

My understanding is that the full PS is 16 bit, whereas Elements was originally 8 bit and is now is partly 8 bit due to legacy software that was deliberately left as 8 bit (possibly to provide an incentive to go for the full PS). I'm only going by comments made by other people and I don't know of an Adobe source that could confirm it - or otherwise.

Plugin, I believe?

I digress with the following links while trying to find out about the "Legacy" comment.... such is the complication of a glut of net-info.... education in continuous even at my ripe ol age of 79!! I was going to sit on the porch and watch the rain and review my old flings, trying to recall those names of ladies whom (or who?) I pleasured with my wit and virility... Instead I have intense reading to do... curse you R.G. and curse Google.

Personal comment: This 8 vs 16 bit topic is one I should not have viewed since I have 8 bit eyes and like Robert Browning's character, Pippa Passes, until I read the following I was comfortably, casually, sipping my coffee, knowing that "gods in his heaven and alls right with the (8 bit) world."

Plugin Escentuals Information (of course complicated) ..... discussed here:
http://www.thepluginsite.com/knowhow/tutorials/introduction/introduction.htm

Old 32 bit (XP?) plugins will not work in 64 bit PS, but.... "The Adobe Photoshop 64bit doesn’t support the old 32bit plug-ins. But there are a large number of old 32bit helpful plug-ins which you love and would like to use in your work with the new Photoshop versions. Now you have the possibility to do this. "

Also I find my old ears now down to 4 bits are assailed by high end 48 bit music... so good today's artist buy expensive equipment to distort the sound. To hell with it all, I am turning on TCM in B&W and falling asleep in the recliner.....zzz
