16 bits should be enough for anybody?16 bits should be enough for anybody?Posted May 17, 2012 11:25 UTC (Thu) by boudewijn (subscriber, #14185)In reply to: 16 bits should be enough for anybody? by epa Parent article: LGM: GIMP's new release, new über-core, and future
Using typedefs and forcing rebuilds would, of course, be incredibly stupid -- it's what imagemagick does/did to get 16 bit/channel support a decade or more ago.
Instead, in the current git master of gimp you can simply go to a menu and select 32 bit integer or floating point/channel. See http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/gimp-2.8-release....
Not that providing 32 bits floating point/channel is really something new or special. Krita had 32 bits floating point/channel in version 1.5, released six years ago.

Awesome! And yes I know Krita has had this for a while.
