Editing in 16-32 bit mode and JPG - maboleth - 03-26-2020
How does GIMP treat the files that are in 16bit or 32bit mode when saving them directly to JPG?
Since JPG is 8bit only, does GIMP automatically convert to 8bit or do I have to do it myself?

Gimp will do it for you.
What you can change is the color profile if you need to (say a printing company using a specific paper profile icc)
Image -> Color Management -> Assign Color profile
