I added a preset in the Preferences -> External Edition -> Additional External Editor to add Photoshop CS5 (since I have Photoshop CS6 beta on my computer).-
When I try to set the Bit Depth for the additional preset to 16-bit (instead of 8-bit), the 16-bit setting resets itself to 8-bit when the Preferences menu is closed (and even though the preset was saved).
