Gimp 2.8 is comming with Single window and Gegl

[bengtb]

Are you using Gimp or any other free/Open source program version 2.8 of gimp will probably enjoy Single window and be Gegl only...

That is a blast Gimp - open source alternative to Adobe Photoshop that is free to use | Photo and Pictures

The trouble is GIMP still can't handle 16 bit images.

RAW captures are 16 bit images, after conversion.

It will always be 8 bits if you save as jpg...that is so for photoshop...biút if you save as tiff it will be 16 bits in time...

Yep JPEG is 8-bit color depth only. So most prints and all web posted images are 8-bit.

There are advantages to doing your editing in 16-bit though and until GIMP can handle 16-bit depth images that advantage is lost on GIMP users.

It's free, so no one should expect it to have the same capabilities as Photoshop.
