Re: [CinePaint] masks; detail 8 vs. 16+ bits

there was a slight delay due to camera battery charging, the camera  
RAW file will be up in about 5 minutes.

so to review, asterisks are my opinions:

http://www.colorist.org/images/DSC_1180.NEF
     raw file from Nikon D70

http://www.colorist.org/images/DSC_1180_lightroom.tiff
     16 bit file saved from Adobe Lightroom, imported from Nikon
      camera, nothing adjusted.

*quite acceptable.   Lightroom, however, does not offer the kinds of  
adjustments that Cinepaint and Photoshop do.

http://www.colorist.org/images/DSC_1180_gimp.jpg
      8 bit .jpg saved from The Gimp, nothing adjusted other than
       file format.

*soft, unusable.

http://www.colorist.org/images/DSC_1180.tiff
       16-bit TIFF OpenEXR Half Float - Rgb - Wide Gamut D65
        saved from Cinepaint, no adjustments.

*more grain or noise in the lowlights than the lightroom example above.
