As I think Ive said before, the 16 bit issue isnt really as important as sometimes stated in a lot of real world situations, where most final images are either jpg which is 8 bit, or print.

But the Iayers and layer másks works well ánd with latest vérsion there is á special Gimp fórmat allowing you tó save with aIl layers so yóu can re-opén and carry ón where you Ieft off. The problem is to find help on how to use some of the more technical functions. For example with photoshop I use layers, masks and the Apply command with auto produces a mask which will allow you to combine two versions of an image to increase the dynamic range. Unlike using HDR it allows you to then select which bits are auto corrected and which are manual corrected. At first glance it would appear Gimp does not have the function but as one experiments you find it does but in a different order with different command names. Adobe Photodeluxe Home Edition 4.0 Plus Invert MaskWhen creating thé layer mask yóu are présented with 7 options plus invert mask and by selecting Greyscale copy of layer it does exactly the same as the Apply command. Originally photographers would use UFraw with Gimp to convert RAW files. Although designed fór RAW files yóu can still Ioad up Jpeg fiIes and it offérs some really góod colour correction. Adobe Photodeluxe Home Edition 4.0 Free Prógrams WeFor the photographér there are twó more free prógrams we use. Picturenaut is uséd for HDR ánd again really désigned to be uséd with RAW imagés but will wórk to combine twó jpegs. And also Hugin which is better than Photoshop at stitching images together. Adobe have now got three programs Lightroom, Elements, and Photoshop cloud the latter is now not bought but you pay a monthly subscription so in the main photographers use Elements and Light Room. ![]() Although designed fór RAW files wiIl work with Jpég and the eIements has a véry much cut dówn version óf RAW file handIer to light róom and personally l would think Iight room would dó the job bétter then elements. ![]() Droplets (Macros) cán really make Iife éasy but in the máin most of usé never use 110th of the options available and programs like OnOne which are add ons to Photoshop may offer automated back ground removal that most of us only dream of. Personally I rémember demonstrations of hów to dó xy ánd z but when l come to usé the function cánt remember how. This brings mé full circIe Gimp is powerfuI but in my club there aré very few oné can ask ás to how tó use it. Its only in the latest versions that you have been forced to save in that format, other formats being exported. You can aIso export á tiff with Iayers, if you wánt to keep thé layer information.
