How to output 16bit renders?

How do I output 16 bit images from a render? In the Maya render Globals, I select PNG, 16bit but every time I sitll get an 8 bit output. Same thing happens if I use Tiff 16 bit or any other format. I thought that now Octane respected Maya's image output selection, whereas in much older versions it didn't? Either way, I can't figure it out so help is much appreciated--Thanks!

I'm in Maya 2018.5 and Plugin V 4.something (I have no clue how to find my plugin version)

Hello? Any help on this basic question. I'm not clear if i'm doing it wrong or if it's broken :roll:

awesome support otoy. Top notch! :roll:

how about I make this easier, since typing a response is too time consuming for you... Just type 1or 2 in a response:

1= 16 bit output of Maya is broken
2= There is something specific/not straight forward that needs to be done to get a 16 bit image output.

I'm sorry itsallgoode9, I didn't notice your report in this section of the forum, just didn't expect bug-reports here. I'm checking it now...

thanks for looking into it Jimstar. I didn't know this would've been classified as a bug (as I didn't yet know if I was just doing something wrong and the feature worked. feel free to the thread if it belongs there.
