I believe that once gimp 2.10 is released and the dt graphics engine 
becomes gegl-enabled, we can pass images back and forth between the two 
programs as we see fit. We should guard against loading too much into dt 
when what we need is time before the two converge. Many thanks to the dt 
devs for the continued progress.
