Is G'mic also working in 16 bit mode in the actual gimp versions
(2.10.6) ?
I've done a few experiments with G'Mic on GIMP 2.10.6. It seems that
G'Mic can work in 16-bit precision.
Here's what I did.
1. Start with an 8-bit-per-channel test image. Check the distribution of
pixel values using Colors->Curves... (My test image has smooth and
continuous distributions in all three of the RGB channels.)
2. Convert the image to a 16-bit image, using Image->Precision->16-bit
integer. Check the distribution of pixel values again. Resize the
"Adjust Color Curves" dialog to make it larger. You can now see gaps in
the distribution of pixel values. (In each color channel, the 256
possible original pixel values won't populate the 0-65535 range evenly.)
3. Apply a filter in G'Mic.
4. Check the distribution of pixel values again. The distributions are
now smooth and continuous, again.
If the G'Mic filter in step 3 can only do 8-bit arithmetic, you'd expect
to see gaps in the resulting distributions of pixel values (but you don't).
