Not especially if we working with imagemagick for example. By defaut IM 
support all 16 bits images and preserve metadata in JPEG, TIFF/EP and PNG

The only default is that IM is slow and the exception management isn't 
compatible with Qt assertion. This is want mean that we need to use C API and 
not C++ API (unlike i have done into JPEGLossLess - i have a patch for that)

Also, there are others indeep problem, but i need to investiguate indeep 
before to describe more...

Also, Batch process plugin, support already 16 bits images because it use IM 
via KProcess.

We can do the same thing in SendImages plugins for example to resize images 
before to send.
