Well, this January marks a chronological milestone for me, and, at this stage, six to eight years seems like something close to a life sentence for me. I guess I need to resign my open source editing sights for long-term (for me) 8-bit. I do like version 7.1 very much, though. Keep up the good work.

The debate on what ID lifted and what it didn't will never stop, eh? There seems to be a recently growing trend to solve GIMP's bottlenecks by introducing external plug-ins that do some fancy stuff and run in 16bpc mode, e.g.: http://www.mm-log.com/blog/2010-07-09/adaptive-saturation-curve-labcurves You might like getting Mike to code quick patch-ups, no? Of course, mating the goat and the wilber would be preferable.

Well, if you *have* used CMYKTool, you couldn't possibly fail to notice the big thing called live soft proof or the small thing called displaying per-channel ink density value for the point under mouse pointer (right below the big thing) :-) Or how CMYKTool allows creating CMYK files in a color-unmanaged way, which is also desirable in some cases (implemented by a request, in fact). I don't see how either of them make the other one redundant. Wise people use both, depending on what they are trying to achieve.

It gets the job done, and very reliable. Latest version supports clipping paths, and saving to CMYK TIFF, JPEG, and PSD. I'm not sure about reading those files back into Gimp, but I think it was mentioned somewhere it can be done. I've never needed to do it myself, though, so you're on your own.

The current goal is late 2010. GIMP 2.8 does not have support for high bit depths. Once GIMP 2.8 is out, we will start phasing out the legacy 8-bit-per-channel code and replace it with GEGL. In other words, we will start for real to introduce support for high bit depths in GIMP. There is no schedule of this work, so a date cannot be given. It is reasonable though to expect this work to go on for say 2-4 years.
