Gimp 2.8.x is 8 bit only. Wait for Gimp 2.10 or use the development version Gimp 2.9.x For 'buntu and derivatives this is easily installed using a PPA. see https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasch/+archive/ubuntu/gimp-edge Updates frequently but is quite stable and usable. This will replace the existing Gimp 2.8.16 installation. It is possible to run both if the 2.9 is a 'portable' application. There are a few around. Search for appimage. There is a 2.9.3 here that should work in most linux https://bintray.com/probono/AppImages/ and https://bintray.com/probono/AppImages/GIMP I keep an up-to-date 2.9.5 assembled in 'buntu 16.04 that should work in your installation. Nothing guaranteed though. see http://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Portable-Gimp-2-9-5-for-linux Used to be a fan of photivo, but development seems to have stalled in 2015. The gimp plugin stopped working for me. There are other tools, RawTherapapee for example. If you have photivo from the dhor/myway PPA it is there for installation. example in kubuntu 16.04 http://i.imgur.com/tbPx1QP.jpg (but using nUFRaW) rich: www.gimp-forum.net -- rich2005 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
