Hi Lukas,
Always cool to have Krita&G'mic news ;-)
I think you already know what I use : mainly 8-bit RGBA to keep
compatibility with *.ora saving and so, other software ( and also
Artscriptk with calligraconverter for my client's preview jpg and various
web export ).
I also use CMYK but at the end of an artwork, to convert, correct and
manage what ink pass will affect my colors from printing machine ( cleaning
colors ).
I don't think I expect to apply Gmic filter at this late step. But I admit
a Gmic filter as in Color>Mixer[CMYK] ( http://i.imgur.com/d8KVmP2.jpg ) or
any other color correction filters could add a bit more of CMYK control and
fun to this step.
-David

<br>
yesterday I was working futher on GMIC integration and I have few<br>
first performance numbers!<br>
<br>
Converting 8-bit RGBA image to 32-bit float RGBA colorspace takes<br>
around 1.7-2.0 seconds<br>
for 1294x1674 image (KisPaintDevice::convertTo).<br>
<br>
We could probably hide this conversion somewhere in background<br>
before the filter dialog will be shown though, but we can&#39;t hide it on<br>
output.<br>
<br>
Poster edges took 5.5 seconds on that same image.<br>
<br>
At the end on output I did not convert the layer back from Float32 to<br>
8-bit RGBA.<br>
That will took probably another 2 seconds.<br>
<br>
That&#39;s quite slow experience and we will have to address this problem.<br>
<br>
If I imagine that artists sometimes wants to filter multi-layer picture,<br>
then<br>
1.) we need strokes for filters!<br>
2.) try to avoid conversions<br>
    o gmic can work in 8-bit only for some filters<br>
    o advice krita users to work in float32 color-space?<br>
<br>
That&#39;s why I&#39;m wondering on forum [1] what artists are using?<br>
To find out If this conversion is problem or not..<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
