Photoshop, the name that hangs on every lackey asshole's lips,
is actually severely limited in its bit depths.

Photoshop, as well as other commercial garbage, only allows
processing in 8, 16, or 32-bit (integer) depths.

The mighty GIMP, otoh, offers 6, 16, 32-bit integer as well
as 16 and 32-bit floating point and this is a HUGE difference
in modern, cutting-edge processing.

If you don't what all of this means then get out.  You belong
to the Photoshop idiot crowd.

Photoshop is for brain-dead assholes.

The GIMP is for creative innovators with the intelligence
to match.
