Bom and photoshop, settings?

[Jenn Rowley]

So when designing we all know you can't upload textures past 1024x1024. But what about resolution and other settings to get best 1:1 with what it will look like in second life.  Like 16bit, 32bit and so forth.  Color spectrums.  Is there a guide or is everyone just winging it.

Not really true. You can upload textures with up to 2048x2048 resolution, but it will be downscaled to 1024x1024.

And personally I just go with 16-bit. For no other reason than that I feel that is enough for me

Textures get compressed onto SL's servers and sent to people's video cards at 8 bits per channel AFAIK. Working in 16 or 32 bits per channel probably won't gain you anything.
