GIMP 1.3.17 Released

Submitted by stro on Thu, 2003-07-24 23:25. GIMP

Lots of new features are being added while the GIMP developers are preparing for camp and GIMP is approaching feature freze. Time for you to try the latest development version which should also be available from a mirror close to you.

developer.gimp.org gets a faceliftBorrowing the look from mmmaybe.gimp.org, developer.gimp.org
has been redesigned. Content still needs to be added but there's hope
that the new site will allow to provide more information about GIMP
development and eventually attract more developers.

Try CinePaint

Submitted by Anonymous George on Fri, 2003-07-25 03:05.

http://cinepaint.sourceforge.net/

From the webpage:

"The 32-bit per channel color range of CinePaint appeals to 35mm cinematographers and professional still photographers because film scanners are capable of greater color bit-depth than can be displayed on an 8-bit per channel monitor or can be manipulated in typical programs. However, CinePaint is a general-purpose tool useful for working on images for motion pictures, print, and the Web. CinePaint supports many file formats, both conventional formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and TGA images -- and more exotic cinema formats such as Cineon and OpenEXR."

If I remember correctly, CinePaint was FilmGimp and FilmGimp was a fork of the Gimp, right?

I wonder how much the code bases have diverged since FilmGimp was formed a couple of years ago?
