Bits per channel

Hello,

I have looked online on the Gimp site and I am not clear if Gimp
supports 16 or 24 or 32 bit images?

Can someone point me to the correct answer for Gimp 2.6.7

Thanks

Hi

GIMP 2.6 does not and GIMP 2.8 will not work with higher than
8 bits-per-channel images. GIMP 2.10/3.0 will.

Martin

as far as i know, GIMP processes colors with 16 bit precision when "use GEGL" is
enabled from the "colors" menu. work is in progress to make it possible to fully
support opening & saving of 16 bit (or higher?) images.

Wrong. GEGL uses 32 bit floating point numbers, that gives 128 bit per
coloured pixel (with alpha channel). Using 16 bit integers, the maximum
intensity of a color channel is 0xffff. This may lead to temporarily
color cropping during multi-step operations, even if the final channel
intensity is below 0xffff. By using floating point numbers, no
temorarily cropping will occur.

thank you for clarifying that. i've read about it a while ago and didn't
remember correctly.

NB: this reply arrived at my personal email address. that doesn't bother me, but
other list users won't see it; seems your email client defaults to the wrong
adress...

Working with 16 bit per channel images will be great!

16 bits per channel is essential when working with high
dynamic range (HDR) images.

What is the timeline for 2.10/3.0?

I believe you'll find that you can only get a meaningful timeline for
eg. 2.10 after 2.8 is released.
Looking ahead further than 'the release we are currently working
towards' is unreliable, especially since all development on GIMP is
done by unpaid volunteers.
