traumatics, you're right, every image is converted into the same depth as the screen (a kind of behaviour i do *not* appreciate, to be honest...)
It may be bothersome, but it is almost certainly required if you want any kind of performance to speak of: Imagine if PB had to convert each and every operation 'on the fly' to match the true depth (It would be very slow indeed).
Honestly, this is exactly what I would expect it would do.
