High bit depth support and non-destructive editing will be delivered through GIMP’s integration of GEGL, the Generic Graphics Library, which is a graph-based image processing framework. Nordholts speaks about the current state of affairs, explains what is going on deep inside the GIMP (and GEGL) and also lifts a corner of the veil about what is to come. Today Linux & Photography blog features an exclusive interview with Martin Nordholts, one of the core contributors to GIMP.
