I thought there was a note on the gimp home page suggesting that people try 2.9 and give feedback. But I can't find the note any more and perhaps I was mistaken. Gimp 2.9 works really well, for the limited things I've tried with it. Except for that one bug, which involves 16-bit tiffs and probably the developers already know about it because they specifically said 2.9 doesn't work with 16-bit tiffs. But if they don't know about it, it would be a shame to not catch it sooner rather than later. The bug, if it's really a bug and not simply a matter of "haven't gotten there yet" is that when Gimp 2.9 opens a 16-bit tiff with a linear gamma color space embedded, it "auto-corrects" by giving the image a 2.2 gamma correction, which makes the image too light, requiring a counter 0.45 gamma correction to fix. But if no-one is interested in having a plain old every day user give feedback on how Gimp 2.9 is working, then that means I don't need to worry about figuring out how to make bug reports. Either way is fine with me. -- Elle Stone http://ninedegreesbelow.com _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
