With Adobe's release of Photoshop CS2, many photographer's became interested in High Dynamic Range (HDR). HDR uses 32-bits per channel rather than the usual eight or sixteen bits. However, your camera doesn't just magically take HDR images. Instead you take a series of images and compose them together. What you get from all this are photos with a greater range of brightness values, to which you can edit til you have the holy grail, the perfect photograph. Read Earthbound Light's tutorial on HDR.
