Two feature requests

[Loadus]

I have to ask these officially, since there are lots of issues when running Photoline on linux, also I have some CG stuff that need deeper bitdepth...


Linux version

I will offer all my help in betatesting/UI creation/integration/graphics, anything you need to get a Photoline for GNU/Linux working. Every new modification in WINE seems to break something in Photoline. Last issue was that Color Management didn't work. Please please please build a Photoline using QT. I will pay 2 x the retail price to get my hands on one. Seriously.


32-bit / Channel

Not a lot of people use HDR bitdepth for editing, but I have some stuff that needs this. Specifically FITS images, CGI renders when compositing etc.


Both of these are pretty hard to implement - they require a lot of rework on the UI and innerstuff, but I really do hope for the GNU/Linux platform. A native 64-bit build for ubuntu would kick some serious ass - and it would grab a market that has no competitors (Cinepaint being the only serious one, and limited at best).

Photoline so far kicks ass as it is, so thanks again for this awesome software. : )

I am sorry about this, but we have not the man power to create a Linux version.

There is a first step 32-bit / Channel support in 16.11 - it doesn't really work good. You can load 32-bit / Channel TIFF images.
The latest beta version can do it better.

Falls ihr vorhabt, PL in Richtung 32 bit-Formate/HDR zu erweitern: Habt ihr euch schon mal die ImageMagick-Bibliothek angesehen? Die kann auch in kommerziellen Programmen genutzt werden und unterstützt FITS, EXR und Floating Point TIFF. (LogLuv TIFF habe ich dort auf die Schnelle nicht gefunden.) Vielleicht kann man sich da ja eine Menge Arbeit sparen? Wobei FITS ja ein ziemlicher Spezialfall ist, weil es dort mehr als drei Farbebenen geben kann und man meist mit Falschfarben für die einzelnen Ebenen arbeitet. Da müsste man wohl erst mal darüber nachdenken, wie man die Farbebenen in PL importiert und weiterverarbeitet.

Yes, I was afraid of this. I'll look into this, to see if I can build the UI (Qt4 copy of the Photoline interface).
