16 bits support is complete in image editor core. I need to port all plugins, 
but PNG, TIFF, PPM, RAW file can be loaded properly in image editor in 16 
bits as well.

CMS is now supported by DImg (old DImage). ICC profile can be used to fix 
photo color automaticly. An external file or embeded profil (PNG, JPEG, TIFF) 
can be use. We need to build a settings interface for ICC profil.

I hope that digikam come better than a simple image viewer like any others 
applications in this world (:=)).
