Just for info, you can get image info just from the Gimp Window, where default setting shows bit depth and image size in pixels. Not a big image but it is 32 bit floating point.
It does have a colour profile but it is just the default Gimp sRGB
Thanks, I am in the process of rapid info intake right now
and as far as GIMP - I have spent altogether maybe 12 hours on it...I think another part of the puzzle uncovers itself:
I looked at the image info for both TIIF files - one exported W/O saving color profile, and another exported WITH it.
They are both 32-bit floating point...why?
Firstly - I do not know of any programs which can use 32-bit image for processing.
And if they can - then what's the advantage?
I always used RAW files, converted to 16-bit TIFFs, processed the TIFF, converted to sRGB for screen and printing.
OK, some people may want 32-bit for some mysterious reasons - but here are the questions:
-why both TIFFs (the one exported WITH and the one W/O color profiles) have identical info (looking at the Image Properties - screenshot attached).
-why are they both exported as 32-bit floating point by default (well, that explains their double size and problems with opening in other image editors...) - if Export Image as TIFF option is not checked (screenshot attached)?
Don't take me wrong: I really like the new incarnation of GIMP. Yes, this is a community project, and it is free, so there is no point of wanting something else: WYSiWYG and all...
Anyways, I am sure that someone smarter than me will sort it out (although sometimes there is such a thing as too much of a good thing).
