You might have read something about GEGL already on the list - this is the underlying library that is being developed for this purpose. That said, unless you have an extremely expensive printer (i.e. one that also is capable of color management and handling wide color channels - which most color printers you get to buy at the normal hardware stores don't), 8-bit channel width is enough to manipulate photographic images in most cases. Also, no serious photographer will just abandon analog photography and go totally digital. Any fine grained film will yield much better resolutions than what the most expensive digital cameras are capable of. (Try applying a digital photography to the outside wall of a building, and you'll see what I mean - it is no problem with an analog image... and again, analog films can be digitized with a good film scanner to a much higher resolution as what you get from a digital camera).
