Photoshop wins right now

But Darktable (http://darktable.sf.net/) runs on Mac, right?

1. Not the up to date version.
2. You don't get local editing.

If you're producing for screen/web at least, 8 bit vs 16 bit doesn't
matter for a static image in itself

Oh, it does matter :) It's not about viewing, it's about rounding errors.

… which happen when you're editing. By "static image" I meant when
you're just viewing ;)
