48 Bit Tiff for the Gimp

Hello everyone !

I am an old systems engineer, who began on IBM1130's in 71. Started with Unix Version 7 in 81. Lots of C later C++. I made my living creating user interfaces with the X11R6 widget toolset. I need 48 bit Tiff to manipulate my thousands of photos from the current trip around the world.
I stopped here in Shenzhen, China to make a few bucks, to pay my way on to Europe. The University has been good to me, and this year I will be teaching operating systems and Industrial Automation and Systems Engineering.

I also need sane-backends to recognize my Nikon 5000 ED scanner, but that is not so critical since VueScan works.

So, could you put me in touch with the relevant parties, so I can get to work, and we can have 48 bit Tiff in the Gimp. And... I can delete WindowsXP forever..... and return to a real operating system.... Unix !

Warmly,

Robert L Krawitz

You might want to try Cinepaint (cinepaint.sourceforge.net). It's based on an old version of the GIMP, but it does CMYK and high bit depths.

I also need sane-backends to recognize my Nikon 5000 ED scanner, but that is not so critical since VueScan works.

I have a Coolscan V. I need to get back in touch with the maintainer about this.

You already got in touch with the relevant party. Adding support for higher color depths to GIMP is on the roadmap and will be addressed as soon as GIMP 2.4 is done. The plan is to use GEGL (http://gegl.org/). Part of it has already been written but this work had been abandoned for a while. Incidentally we only yesterday decided to pick up work on this library again. Mitch, Pippin and me will be reviewing and cleaning up the code over the next days. If you want to help, we can certainly need help in this area. At the moment I can not really tell you exactly what needs to be done but I should be able to tell you in a couple of days.

HOORAAY!!!

That is __great__ news!

I f possible I ask that you three post any progresses, and most importantly, specific small tasks that could be done by others, on the GEGL-devel list.
