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
