Come on, let's not be naive. Eventually those PSDs are flattened by InDesign (at the point of PDF for output), at which point the adjustments are applied, and the gaps in the 8-bit histogram become reality.

I'm not saying it's a good thing - I hate those gaps as much as anyone. But I'm not labouring under the misapprehension that "adjustment layers keep me safe".

Thats a good point. I just meant that they prevent image loss from excessive image manipulation with curves. It is true that they will have gaps sooner or later.
