Film Gimp is a motion picture editing tool primarily used for painting
and retouching of movies. With sixteen bits per component instead of
eight, Film Gimp has much more color depth capacity than Gimp.
Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis created Gimp originally, releasing the
first version (0.54) in 1995. Gimp is a widely-used alternative to
Adobe Photoshop, a popular tool for professional image editing.
Film Gimp extended Gimp to operate upon a series of images and in
16-bit linear and floating point color depths. Film Gimp is currently
based upon the HOLLYWOOD 1.0.4 branch of Gimp.
