This is why I want film gimp to use gegl at its core, instead of the old gimp engine. Gimp and Film Gimp cant be limited in any way in the core of the program, so being able to support any bitdepth is extreamly important. Though, what needs to happen is that the internal rendering core, and all plugins need to support _atleast_ one major format, and that would be RGB/RGBA 32-bit float (aka spfp) per channel. Preferably, gegl would choose the best format (RGBA spfp for RGB, CYMK spfp for CYMK, and maybe a YUV spfp format? That could be useful for film gimp) for rendering and data transmission between modules/plugins. (It would choose the highest bitdepth option for the colorspace.) -- Patrick "Diablo-D3" McFarland || unknown@xxxxxxxxx "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." --Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989
