+Title: Community-supported development of GEGL now live
+Date: 2017-01-15
+Category: News
+Authors: Alexandre Prokoudine
+Slug: pippin-patreon-fundraising-started
+Summary: Almost every new major feature people have been asking us for, be it high bit depth support, or 
full CMYK support, or layer effects, would be impossible without having a robust, capable image processing 
core. You can help us fund further development of GEGL now.

+Almost every new major feature people have been asking us for, be it high bit depth support, or full CMYK 
support, or layer effects, would be impossible without having a robust, capable image processing core.
+
+Øyvind Kolås picked up [GEGL](http://gegl.org/) in mid-2000s and has been working on it in his spare time 
ever since. He is the author of 42% of commits in GEGL and 50% of commits in [babl](http://gegl.org/babl/) 
(pixel data conversion library). Thanks to his work, we shall be shipping GIMP 2.10 with 16/32-bit per color 
channel precision and filters that have an on-canvas preview.
+
+But we always need more from both GEGL and babl:
+
+* better performance (always);
+* more sophisticated use of GPU;
+* full support for arbitrary TRC (think using AdobeRGB instead of switching between sRGB and linear light);
+* full support for CMYK and spot colors;
+* more GIMP filters available as GEGL operations.
+
+And the list go on.
+
+Which is why we ask you to support Øyvind via his [Patreon page](https://www.patreon.com/pippin), so that 
the development of new features requested by you, our community, could go faster.
