The problem is that I recently read about the scaling problems in any non- linear colour space and as a result have tried scaling some of my images in a 16 bit linear colour space - with stunning results. So UFRaw helps with the first problem of doing the conversion but 8 bit GIMP is messing up things later in the editing process... For the moment I am living with the results but now knowing how much better they can look without having to compensate late in the editing process having a workflow which would start with the 14 bit depth my camera provides per colour channel and never drops to a non linear colour space before the final save to JPEG would be preferred and I hope that a GEGL enabled GIMP will do so in the forseable future... regards Karl Günter Wünsch _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
