What is the default bit depth of a chaotica render? Is there any way to control the bit depth?

I am acctually looking for the color bit depth. I guess its bit depth is 24 which would make it 8 bit color depth?

Is there any way to change this? Am I even right?

I would love to see 16 or 32 bit support if it is possible

i believe its 8 bits, yes

Not sure how 16 or 32 would impact the rendering etc though, it could be possibly not worth it.

Currently the output depth is only 8 bit per channel PNG, however 16 bit PNG output shouldn't be too difficult, and HDR output would of course be great.
