I also cannot believe the ineptitude of the gimp developers WRT
16-bit images. It's a complete nonstarter for high-quality image
manipulation for that reason alone.
That said, I use cinepaint for manipulation of color-managed
digital photos. Unfortunately, monitor calibration is still more or less
nonexistant. Since I rarely do any adjustments other than
brightness/contrast or some nonlinear contrast mapping, color-management
from camera to printer is all that's important... and I've got that.
One of the other problems with Cinepaint is that it's based on the
old gtk-1.x and an old fork of the gimp... kinda kludgy to use. It does
get the job done though.
