wish: add support for 16 bit TIFF
Last modified: 2004-02-04 08:21:36 UTC
wish: add support for reading and writing TIFF files with 16 bits per pixel per colour. both black and white and colour images should be capable of this.
The TIFF plug-in is able to deal with 16-bit TIFF files, but it has to truncate the color channels to 8 bits because the core of the GIMP cannot handle more than 8 bits per channel yet. Support for 16 bit color will be implemented in a future version of the GIMP. This has already been mentioned in several bug reports: bug #74224, bug #95737 and bug #125302. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 74224 ***
