Hi! Not without quite a bit of effort. The point of porting stuff to GEGL is indeed to make such things possible, but in the current code the image data is compressed to 8-bit per channel already in the loading-from-file phase (at least for 16 bpc .pngs), i.e. before we have a chance to use any colour adjustment tools on the data. In order to support the above one would have to at least 1. Extend the plug-in API to deal with high bit-depth images 2. Adapt the core to store the high bit-depth data 3. Adapt the core to pass the high bit-depth data to the colour adjustment tools. The only thing you "get for free" is that the colour tools already do their processing in 32-bit per channel linear light RGBA, so if you manage to give them high bit-depth data they can handle that. Note that in GIMP trunk the projection construction code, i.e. the code that combines layers into a single image, is as good as ported to GEGL too. Support for high bit-depth and non-destructive editing is in other words closer than ever, but there's still a lot to do.
