Film Gimp is a 16-bit per channel version of Gimp intended for frame-by-frame retouching of motion pictures. Movies that used it include Scooby-Doo, Harry Potter, and Stuart Little. Film Gimp is available for Linux and Irix, with Windows and Macintosh planned.

With the announcement of the release of version 0.4 at SourceForge, Film Gimp is starting to climb the charts. Activity rating has passed 90% and Film Gimp is now ranked at #912 on SourceForge.

The Gimp-print package is 16-bit capable (obviously the standard GIMP Print plugin, which is part of the Gimp-print package, isn't). While the only 16-bit input mode provided is CMYK, we could either add a 16-bit RGB input, or do the appropriate conversion module. Would you folks be interested in working on that with us?

Yes, I think so. Even though "print" in the context of Film Gimp first brings to mind a reel of motion picture film. How would you want to approach it?

Not clear. The Gimp-print core is optimized for CMYK inkjet printers, although the print plugin can print to other printers.

Gimp doesn't do much with CMYK, which has been a long standing complaint:

There is a CMYK plug-in for gimp:

Does anyone have an interest in CMYK in Film Gimp?
