20 years ago now, Cinepaint and FilmGimp were forks of Gimp that supported 16bit color and were used in Hollywood for big budget movies, because they were the best software for the time. I was getting into photography about then, and was dealing with 16 bit images, and was looking at trying to install CinePaint. Unfortunately, CinePaint was still on Motif for widgets and wouldn't move over to GTK. (Gimp started on Motif then created GTK, Cinepaint forked before GTK) Gimp meanwhile took a long time to support 16-bit color. Here's a thread [1] from 2010 where one person admitted it would be 6-8 years. I gave up and bought a really nice package for editing photos that wasn't subscription based.
