+            A huge step for GIMP: 16-32 bits per channel support is at last 
+            available.
+            You are now able to work with a lot more color information and 
+            detail in your pictures. This support basically gives you the 
+            ability to create super-smooth color transitions on your picture. 
+            Next improvement will be to have RAW files edited with GIMP 
+            <emphasis>directly</emphasis> since there is enough color space to 
+            bring back all the details that are stored inside a RAW file

+            If you wonder what the difference is between integer and floating 
+            point (in the graphics area): If you have an image with 16-bit 
+            integer precision per channel, then you have 65.536 shades of 
+            different red, green and blue color tones – all of them equally 
+            stepped to each other (equal color distance). If you have it in 
+            floating point, then there are no equal-wide steps – so you can 
+            distribute the possible color values over selected ranges. For 
+            example: if you know that you have a very dark image with many 
+            shades of dark red color tones then you would benefit from floating 
+            point because you can decrease the importance of the brighter color 
+            tones and get most color detail out of only the darker reds.
