I like GIMP. It's almost as good as Photoshop. (Please no stone
throwing from the Linux crowd.) However, I wonder if it supports
16-bit-per-color images? This would seem an advantage when doing
post-processing work. Of course, if it could be made to support
floating-point images, that would be even better.

One strong point in Photoshop's favor is its nearly universal
acceptance in the professional imaging community. It certainly
wouldn't hurt POV-Ray to be able to interact well with what is
probably the most respected photo-image editor in the world.


Later,
Glen
