I suppose you mean there's a bit of low-frequency vaiation in the sky
colour? Not too bad, though.
More than a bit, to my mind. It doesn't look very natural.
GIMP really needs to stop messing around with single window mode and the
like, and get its act together with high bit depth.
Indeed. It's a big nuisance they aren't getting it together. It
actually drove me to put up with cinepaint which I had to compile
myself (it was in such bad nick that I had to fix an error in the
source code within seconds of starting the compile but then it ran
through), the documentation is awful, and the UI is awkward. Their
attitude isn't particularly gentle or user-friendly, it's sort of take-
it-or-leave-it. But it does 16bit and is fast.
I'd much prefer gimp, though. What I end up doing now is to keep
everything in 16bit and then just use gimp to 'mix it down' to the
final version to be used for presenting on-screen, which can't use
more than 8 bits anyway - but it's a crutch.
The problem with GIMP -- IMHO -- is that they're letting themselves get
sucked into UI details, while ignoring what's really needed for high-end
graphics work. They put a lot of effort into single window mode to try
to make it feel more comfortable to Photoshop users, but meanwhile GEGL
is lagging.
As long as they don't support 48-bit color, they won't get many
Photoshop users.
Cinepaint always crashes on me when I try to use it, and it's so out of
date that I find it impossible to do anything of any sophistication.
Haven't tried Cinepaint in years.
I'm doing more panos now as 16-bit TIF, then converting the final
product down to 8-bit using RawTherapee.
