said Liam R E Quin: | The bit depth is about the amount of information stored in each pixel - | a JPEG image is limited to 8 bits per channel, so 24 bits in RGB, per | pixel. You could work in 32bit floating point mode in GIMP, but when | you exported the JPEG image it'd be exported as 8-bit. So yes, it's | entirely to do with the particular image.
Right, yes. I was thinking more as to the importation of a jpeg, improvement of it in GIMP, and exporting as a .png or suchlike, to preserve the gradations introduced in GIMP. Which is to say that I'd like to set a GIMP default to 32 bits while in GIMP, no matter the bit depth of the original image.
