Elle,
What are your thoughts on the 64-bit precision now in Gimp?
At some point in the not too distant past I asked about the 64-bit
precision options. As I recall, the answer was that 64-bit precision
options are to accomodate (I think) the FITS file format, which can be
at 64-bit precision. But the actual GEGL calculations are at 32-bit
floating point.
Also, (I know, I shouldn't ask :) ) are the patches already in the
current trunk?
My apologies, I'm not sure which patches you are asking about. The
openexr patch? I filed a bug report but don't remember if I attached a
patch or not. The patch to retrieve Y and XYZ info from the image ICC
profile? I did attach a patch to the bug report. Some other patch?
Elle
Thanks,
Partha

I posted a "User's Guide to High Bit Depth GIMP 2.9" to my website.
Some of the GIMP 2.9 code still uses hard-coded "sRGB-only" parameters.
Consequently, if you use GIMP 2.9 to edit images in wider gamut RGB working
spaces such as ProPhotoRGB or AdobeRGB1998, the affected editing operations
produce incorrect results.
The "User's Guide" tells you which editing operations to watch out for and
also provides some workarounds.
Some of the workarounds are simple, and some require making small
modifications to the source code and then recompiling babl/GEGL/GIMP.
Here's the link:
http://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography/users-guide-to-high-bit-depth-gimp.html
The Guide talks about color management and so gets a bit technical in
places. So if anyone has questions, please ask and I'll do my best to answer
them.
Best regards,
