近日春节在家，遇到一位Photoshop用户，一起给老父亲教图像处理（他工作上用
得到）。得到photoshop用户的一点粗点评说GIMP易用性好的地方是浮动图层。我
没有使用photoshop的经验，但是疑心贴主因为经验而有成见。又及：我使用gimp
时也感到工具箱和对话框与图像窗体分开
有不便处，所以对我使用的fluxbox做了个性化的设置，做了快照如下：

我今日偶然读到以下内容。
抄自Cine Paint FAQ:

> Did you fork GIMP?
> Back in 1998, the film industry employed some GIMP developers to
> enhance GIMP for 16-bit deep painting. GIMP never released that code.
> It was called the HOLLYWOOD branch in GIMP CVS and within the film
> industry it was known as Film Gimp. In 2000, the GIMP project
> announced a new direction, GEGL. Film Gimp was forgotten. In 2002, I
> discovered Film Gimp in use at the studio Rhythm & Hues while writing
> a story for Linux Journal. Readers wrote me for the tarball and
> started sending me patches. I made the patched code available on
> SourceForge. Film Gimp was renamed CinePaint and has evolved

抄自GIMP FAQ：

> When can we see 16-bit per channel support (or better)?
> For some industries, especially photography, 24-bit colour depths (8

所以或许cine paint可以解决你的需求。也许你已经知道了，贴出来使大家也知
道。
