I figured out how to change the default unit of measurment from px to cm for a new image, but how do I do the same for an image I've copied from the net and pasted into gimp as new image (Ctrl, Shft + V)? When I go to resize for this, it's still in px?

Hello everyone, some time ago I made an image with an audio spectrum effect, and my problem is that I can't remember what kind of filter I used. I want to know if you can help me to achieve the same effect, what I remember when I make the image was that the filter I used can fragment the image in a grid and the distance between every "cube", as a result of the grid, was configurable so I modify some values to get the effect I desire. To clarify, I just make some big lines with green color in the layer that I applied the audio spectrum effect. Here is the image I made:

| 8-bit vs 16-bit Precision, and Indexing |
|

Just a couple questions that I can't seem to find the answer for online, so I figured I would ask here.
Online, it says that editing a photo with 8-bit precision is easier on a computer's RAM, and reduces file size. I have no trouble with RAM usage, and I shoot a lot of my photos in 16-bit RAW format, so I edit photos with that. However, I'm VERY interested in the reduced file size.
It seems to me that if I edit a photo in 16-bit and then convert it to 8-bit precision after I'm done, it still makes it may smaller in size...and flipping between 16-bit and 8-bit via the history tab, I can't see an actual difference. Does anyone know what actually happens to the photo if I switch to the 8-bit precision after I'm done editing? And what's the difference between just using 8-bit precision and using indexed colors, since I can see a VERY visible difference if I index the colors as well.
I'd really like to know how much information I'm losing if I switch to 8-bit precision, without indexing, after I'm already done editing the original 16-bit photo.
Thanks!
Edit: Looking at the colorcube analysis, both the original 16-bit and converted 8-bit PNGs have the same amount of unique colors. Obviously, the indexed version only has 256. Does this mean that if I don't index, no actual visible information is lost by converting it to 8-bit?
