No; it's totally linear. 6 sequential 16-bit values become one "PS
16-bit" value (except for the highest and lowest values, which are 3 to
1).

I think its time for Adobe to realize that people have fast machines,
and that they need to stop cutting corners on quality for speed.

We don't.

Without your original data to test, I can't even guess what went wrong.

But the 0..32768 representation will have to remain for the forseeable
future (unless you have a modern processor that does integer divides
just as fast as it does integer shifts).
