gimpGIMP 2.10 16-bit precision export limits
High Bit-Depth Data Persistence GIMP 2.10 utilizes GEGL to handle image data with up to 16-bit per channel precision. While the internal precision can be configured via the Image → Precision menu, the behavior of the export process varies depending on the chosen format and dialog settings. There is uncertainty regarding the consistency of bit-depth preservat
GIMP High-Bit Depth Precision and Tool Consistency
GEGL Precision Limitations GIMP 2.10 and later utilize the GEGL library to support 8, 16, and 32-bit per channel precision. While the core engine handles these higher bit depths, a discrepancy exists between the processing engine and the user interface tools. Many legacy tools and UI elements remain optimized for 8-bit workflows. This creates uncertainty whe
