Since Gimp is useless for serious editing you should have included 'OT'
in the subject line.


I must not understand the significance of 'rec' in the group name.


It means you should be playing chess, checkers, shuffleboard, or knitting a
wig while engaged in anything to do with digital photography.

something photoshop had in 1992.

it still does not have adjustment layers, something photoshop had in
1996, making it still useless to any serious editing.

Photoshop was eight bits per channel until CS, IIRC...


you rc wrong. very very wrong.


No. Photoshop is not worth the extra investment without plugins,


nonsense

which
got 16bit support with CC...


plug-ins did, however, photoshop itself had support for 16 bit since
1992 in version 2.5, enhanced with version 5 in 1998 and again in 2003
with cs.

CS was 32 vs 64 bits for addressing of memory, which was required for
having more total RAM for larger images.

Having 16 bit channels dates from November 1992 (version 2.5):

Know that!


apparently not.

The problem was lack of 16bit support for the plugins, which
is crucial for working with Photoshop the Photoshop way.


nonsense, and the gimp doesn't fully support all photoshop plug-ins
anyway.

also, i didn't see any mention that they made gimp faster. one of the
biggest problems with the gimp is that it was significantly slower than
photoshop, to the point of being unusable. for example, many actions
were not real time, as they are in photoshop. others took as much as
10x as long to complete.

I think it's short for recreational as in a hobby rather than a
profession.
There's other .rec. groups too.


Exactly my point. It's not a group only for 'serious' photographers.

Liar. From the link in the above: "16 bit per channel layers, painting,
and adjustment" were added in CS/PS8


scroll up to version 2.5, where it states "16 bit per channel support".

Why should it? It has its own plugin protocol.


because there are ****loads of photoshop plug-ins, far, far more than
the gimp plug-ins.

Users might have to wait
for them to be upgraded though as the GIMP 2.10 is a mere month old...


they might be waiting a very long time since it ain't on the road map.
