What is the best GIMP alternative which also supports 16 or higher bit per channel
The GIMP is the best image editor for linux. But for photos it's not good as it only supports 8bit per channel. And waiting for gimp 2.10 which supports higher bit's per channel is very frustrating. I want to know a image editor better than GIMP.
There is a Krita, which support 16 bit per channel and even 32, but I cannot say it is better than GIMP. For me it has better interface, but I do not used it too much, so I cannot say about other aspects.
It depends on what you want to do
CinePaint
Nip2 ( handles up to 32 bit and double)
Gmic ( terminal handles up to 32 bit and double )
Imagemagick ( Q8,Q16,Q32,Q32 double )

Not much cinepaint development happens. Also it is unstable the upstream source.
Don't like Nip2
Imagemagick is only a conversion and transforming type.
And GMIC has a plugin for GIMP.
What I need is a software which supports pen, mice and keyboard.
No one can beat the GIMP, which is best alternative after Photoshop, it is desktop version.
If you want browser based then you can go with pixlr, or toolpic.com
