Kurt, I think its awesome that they are trying to offer a photoshop alternative free. I will probably start using it if they release a 16bit version. Thanks for the compliment :) Cheers, David Canopus56 wrote:

Thanks for pointing that out. Searching for the issue on the web, apparently v2.6 will now open 16 bit images, but converts them to 8bit for image processing. The full 16bit version is planned for 2010. - Kurt
P.S. - Great work on your Canon modification. Very high end stuff.
