Hi, Stefaan Himpe [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: In my opinion it is a shame that some good hackers are wasting their time on this codebase. Which begs for the question: why is current gimp not extended to include the film-gimp specific features? Who says it isn't? GAP already provides quite a lot of that functionality (and more). Other features such as support for more color spaces are being worked on. Maybe after the bug week, a merge month can be organized? The cinepaint developers clearly expressed that they are not interested in such a merge. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

For me, the most important feature of filmgimp/cinepaint is the support for greater than 8 bits per color component (16 bit integer and 32 bit floating point). The cinepaint developers clearly expressed that they are not interested in such a merge. Last week I attended a public meeting chaired by the cinepaint project lead. I know very little about the reasons behind the cinepaint/gimp split. I do think it's unfortunate that the split is hindering the development of an open-source image editing program combining the richness and maturity of gimp 1.2/1.3/2.0 with the color precision of cinepaint. = -- MARK [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!?

Support for more color models with more precision as well as better color management is one of the main goals of GIMP's future development. I don't think the split is effectively hindering this.

Hear, hear! This is the only reason I have filmgimp on my system - the ability to edit 16-bit files from my cameras prior to doing final 8-bit work in Gimp. I would be very happy if I didn't have to use filmgimp for this, as (has been indirectly pointed out) the interface is rather old-fashioned. The first problem is it doesn't have a drag-n-drop interface similar to that used by gimp-remote (which I use for passing files to the Gimp from my database) and goes on from there. __ David Burren ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
