Good luck getting cinepaint to do anything. (Why are people still talking about cinepaint?)

Photo editing
(Why are people still talking about cinepaint?)
Because either it's the only free image editing app that isn't limited to 8-bit colour, or people aren't aware of the alternatives. If there's something better I'd love to hear of it.

Krita maybe: http://www.koffice.org/krita/
I'm not Image pro at all, so I honestly don't know, but it does say the following:
=== CUT ===
Krita supports many managed colorspaces, like rgb, grayscale, cmyk, lab, ycbcr and lms, in 8
and 16 bits per channel. Some colorspaces even support 32 bits per channel! With the
development of KOffice 2.0, all these colorspaces will be available to all KOffice
applications that need color management. An experimental watercolor colorspace that tries to
follows the physics of paint is included in 1.5.
Krita can import RAW images in 8 and 16 bits per channel and load and save the usual image
formats: tiff, png, jpeg. Other image formats, like xcf, can be imported and sometimes
exported through the GraphicsMagick import/export plugin, but are not fully supported.

I have used it a bit, but I must confess that the little I've done in regards to handling
photos (shot with my D80), has been done with Photoshop and it just seems way ahead of the
Gimp. Of course, it costs a lot of money too, so...

Krita is indeed great if you don't mind something that's not quite as polished as the GIMP. I
use it quite a lot for photo work.
