<br>
I've accumulated a lot of such files in the course of editing images, to the point where I'd like to find an image viewer for browsing through the images and then opening selected images with various high bit depth image editing programs.<br>
<br>
As far as I can tell, digiKam can't read floating point tiffs and also can't read openexr files. Would filing a bug report/enhancement request be worthwhile?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>digiKam use a 16 bits color depth integer image data container to edit, which will solve 99% of photography case, including RAW files.</div><div><br></div><div>floating point image data are very specific case, typically used in pro video for ex.</div><div><br></div><div>You can load this kind of image in digiKam image editor through QImage loader, but in 8 bits per color per pixels. that all.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

It would be nice if digiKam could be used to not only view but also catalog and tag such images.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Cataloging/tagging, etc, is not a problem here. Metadata management is delegate to Exiv2, which support TIFF, but not OpenEXR as i know. In all case XMP side car is the solution here. Also, no problem with database with these kind of image formats.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

It would be extremely nice if digiKam could also be used to catalog and tag high bit depth GIMP XCF files and also Krita KRA files.<br>
