16 bit Gimp?

(repeat) I am developing a plugin which loads raw images from digital cameras (CRW,NEF etc).

There is actually lots of the functionality I need support (and some I need to do) in the gimp already, if only the gimp was 16 bits ready.

So, I wonder, any estimate how far in the future it is?

Hi,

Quoting Joseph Heled :

do) in the gimp already, if only the gimp was 16 bits ready.

Any estimate that you get will be unreliable, most likely, given the track record of the project. That said, I'll give you one.

End of 2005. That is, 2.2.0 in September 2004, GEGL 1.0 (the minimum of functionality the GIMP core needs to use it) sometime around February 2005 (pure guess), and then 6 months to actually use it, followed by a 3 month pre-release cycle. That gives a release around Christmas 2005. Of wourse, this might well be complete fiction.

Cheers, Dave.

I might be wrong, but doesn't such a plug-in exist already?

We will start working on it as soon as 2.2 has been released. So that should be far enough away in the future for you not to wait on it.

One exists for dcraw (Canon's raw format). Don't know if that would work on the other formats.

Shouldn't we consider including that in the main distribution for 2.2, since that type of format is now more & more widespread? Who's the author?

Cheers,
Dave.

It would be nice to be prove wrong, but I am not aware of such a plugin.

Dave's (dcraw author) own "plugin" is just a simple "text like" interface o dcraw. My work is based on PTJ rawphoto, but it is already much better, I believe. Have a look at http://pages.quicksilver.net.nz/pepe/d70/Nikon_D70_on_Linux.html if you like.
