I can delete WindowsXP forever. and return to a real operating system Unix ! You already got in touch with the relevant party. Adding support for higher color depths to GIMP is on the roadmap and will be addressed as soon as GIMP 2.4 is done. The plan is to use GEGL (http://gegl.org/). Part of it has already been written but this work had been abandoned for a while. Incidentally we only yesterday decided to pick up work on this library again. Mitch, Pippin and me will be reviewing and cleaning up the code over the next days. If you want to help, we can certainly need help in this area. At the moment I can not really tell you exactly what needs to be done but I should be able to tell you in a couple of days.

I f possible I ask that you three post any progresses, and most importantly, specific small tasks that could be done by others, on the GEGL-devel list.

[Gimp-developer] 48 Bit Tiff for the Gimp
Hello everyone ! I am an old systems engineer, who began on IBM1130's in 71. Started with Unix Version 7 in 81. Lots of C later C++.

The University has been good to me, and this year I will be teaching operating systems and Industrial Automation and Systems Engineering. You might want to try Cinepaint (cinepaint.sourceforge.net). It's based on an old version of the GIMP, but it does CMYK and high bit depths. I also need sane-backends to recognize my Nikon 5000 ED scanner, but that is not so critical since VueScan works. I have a Coolscan V. I need to get back in touch with the maintainer about this. -- Robert Krawitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Project lead for Gimp Print --http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works. --Eric Crampton ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
