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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop_version_history |

Having 16 bit channels dates from November 1992 (version 2.5): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop_version_history 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. |

The problem was lack of 16bit support for the plugins, which is crucial for working with Photoshop the Photoshop way. That was true for some plugins, not all. IIRC NIK and Topaz worked fine in 16 bit mode. i am not aware of any that work in LAB mode, but then when I work in LAB mode I really don't need plugins. 16bit support was enabled in CS according to the Wikipedia page sited... -- teleportation kills |

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

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. |
