Interesting. I'd been wondering what had happened to Hollywood/Film Gimp.
Looks like this is the answer... In the process, they've gone from Film
Gimp's 16 bits per channel up to a staggering 32 bits (128 bits per pixel
for full RGBA). I can't off the top of my head think of a use for that
depth of colour, even to prevent rounding errors. It'll help when treating
greyscale images as RGB, but little else. I mean, it gives around 2 x 10^22
times more colour data than the human eye can process. That's quite a bit...
