Photoshop wins right now But Darktable (http://darktable.sf.net/) runs on Mac, right? 1. Not the up to date version. 2. You don't get local editing. If you're producing for screen/web at least, 8 bit vs 16 bit doesn't matter for a static image in itself Oh, it does matter :) It's not about viewing, it's about rounding errors.

[Gimp-user] 8 bit vs. 16 or more bit
I've tried some research on this subject but have come up with little definitive information. I'm new to gimp, have used photoshop some, and am new to the iMac and OSx operating system. As a photographer moving from prosumer to professional (hopefully), I am wondering about the quality differences between gimp and photoshop, especially in the bit rate area. If the bit rates make a difference to the quality of the finished product (especially prints), will gimp be going to higher bit rates, and will this include the mac version? Thanks for the help.

Thanks, Jacob If you get very latest pango, gtk+ and gimp (preferrably git master of all of them), it works really well on lion. We usually don't do installable binaries, unless somebody steps forward and does it. As a general note (not to you), I hope that whoever decides to package gimp as an app bundle this time does is in cooperation with the developers, and doesn't just patch it up, dump the patches on some unrelated sourceforge project, and provides a bundle to download. The way the windows packages are done works without *any* patches to the source, because the packager hangs out on irc and is an upstream developer, whatever gimp needs to be packaged on windows is simply in upstream git. I'm writing this here on gimp-user not to insult or antagonize the people who have packaged gimp for mac in the past, but only so that everybody can read it: please, come to irc/mailing list/bugzilla and tell what patches you need to make gimp properly relocatable, bundleable, whatever, and we can work together to get it upstreamed. thanks, --mitch -- Message: 3 Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2011 11:42:24 +0400 From: Alexandre Prokoudine alexandre.prokoud...@gmail.com To: gimp-user-list@gnome.org Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] Splash Image Message-ID: cafjkzc2vmoqvlqlrc9y8zemz_bzeo5wn7+rfkupwd5djguq...@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Fri, Dec 16, 2011 at 9:53 PM, Madeleine Fisher wrote: I was just reading the list of tasks left on developing GIMP 2.8 and one of them was Decide on a splash image.
