The main reason functionally is to get higher bpp. My use cases are
generally around blending 3 or 4 high resolution (21 mp) images and then
overlaying 3 or 4 other masked images into the mix. You can see examples
of my artwork at http://www.synergisticimages.ca - I generally bring in 3
or 4 images layers, mess about with the blending modes - I usually end up
using 'soft light' or 'hard light', I then mess about with transparency and
image layering a lot, and then start bringing in other images.
The base images are RAW images mostly from either a Canan 350D or a 5D mrk
ii - so 12 or 14 bit per channel. Currently I'm converting them to jpegs in
aperture and working on the jpegs in gimp.
I'd love to just be able to load the raw images into krita as a 16bit per
channel image, and do all my blendings at a higher bit depth.
Of course that means I'll need to find a way to print higher bit depth
images, but I'll worry about that later.
I also spend a fair bit of time in the gimp separating people and objects
from their backgrounds - but frankly I could continue doing that in the
gimp, save out a png and bring that into krita - bit depth is less important
there...
Bonus points for an app that is native mac os x and doesn't need X11.
