Currently all images are exported as 8-bit images, however this is not a good choice if users want to continue post-processing in an image editor (PS, LR, gimp, darktable etc.).
Especially the TIFF file format is known as an excellent export format choice for intermediate files in a processing workflow as it saves files with non-destructive compression and allows higher bit depths, such as int16, int32 or even float32.
This PR is just a minor step to export TIFF files in int16 precision.
