Hi,
= I'm considering buying a new monitor (and graphics card) which supports
10 bits per color channel.
Will Gimp on a Linux machine (X11) suppor= t this now or in the near future.
Or is it just waste of money to buy = a monitor with more than 8 bits/color channel?
Many thanks for some hi= nts,
Helmut
