CinePaint is a free open source painting and image retouching program designed
|
|
to work best with 35mm film and other high resolution high dynamic range images.
|
|
It is the most popular open source tool in the motion picture industry - used
|
|
in 2 Fast 2 Furious, Scooby-Doo, Harry Potter, Stuart Little and other feature
|
|
films. CinePaint is used for painting of background mattes and for
|
|
frame-by-frame retouching of movies. It is being extended to do film
|
|
restoration. CinePaint is available for Linux, Macintosh OS X, Windows, and
|
|
other popular operating systems. This software was formerly known as
|
|
FilmGimp.
|
|
|
|
Animation renderers and 35mm film scanners are capable of creating greater color
|
|
bit-depth than can be displayed on monitors (8-bit per channel) or can be
|
|
manipulated in most programs. The 32-bit per channel color capacity of CinePaint
|
|
appeals most to cinematographers and professional still photographers. However,
|
|
CinePaint is a general-purpose tool useful for working on images for motion
|
|
pictures, print, and the Web. CinePaint supports many file formats, conventional
|
|
formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and TGA images -- and more exotic motion
|
|
picture digital intermediate formats such as Cineon and OpenEXR.
|
|
|
|
CinePaint is free software. The generosity and commitment of its developers,
|
|
users and sponsors make CinePaint possible.
