True, 8 bit is OK for "animation" work (like Shrek) but for live action it just does not cut it. This is why film gimp supports 16 bit. Any house doing live action work is likely long switched over to 16 bit. As a photographer my results are significantly better if I do scan and initial level a

Im desiging a small application, and I need some insipiration for an undo system;its obvious that the GIMP's undo system, and the data it operates on, is far more complex than that of a text editor, so i was curious about what it's approach was. Thanks for the assitance. Im no under any deadline

I'll try to clarify for you. Could u explain what the meta information is based on? In order to accomplish an undo, would this meta information be used to perform the inverse of an operation? A situation where I dont think the meta information would make sense would be: when resizing an image (u

So whats the approach for this meta information? Will u ever use this meta information to perform the inverse of an operation? When resizing an image u lose pixels, so you would have to store size T in memory. No meta information there really. On Thu, 2002-10-31 at 03:20, Sven Neumann wrote: > Hi
