Linux Today linked to an article about the growing acceptance of Linux in Hollywood (meaning: Linux being used by film production companies). Apparently Shrek was made for a large part using Linux boxes. There is a small mention of the GIMP: : Hammerhead has ported its tools to Linux and uses Linux : RenderMan. Partner Thad Beier says, "We use GIMP, which : is unique among Linux open source tools for being supported : by companies in the industry, such as Rhythm & Hues and : Silicon Grail." GIMP, an image editor with features : similar to Photoshop, provides 16-bit per channel : support (64-bit RGBA). It is an example of the leverage : obtained by building on someone else's existing open : source code. -- branko collin collin@xxxxxxxxx
