More seriously, I only ever print from GIMP, because the printing process involves rescaling the image to match the print size at a given resolution (typically 250PPI), and then sharpening, which requires editing facilities. I believe this behavior is universal among serious photographers. That isn't to say that folks won't ever use geeqie to print, but I /do/ doubt that people who print from geeqie will care about taking advantage of the extra bit depth in their 16-bit images. This is assuming that geeqie already displays 16-bit images reasonably. --xsdg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
