Now we are by the numbers, take a look at cinepaint, former filmgimp. It
has floating point support - 96bit RGB beside traditional 8-bit and 16-bit
per channel integers. If we want be open to do serious HDR, which is
impossible even with ImageMagics 16-bit integers(48bit), an open door to
cinepaint would be good.

Additionaly the plug-ins of the gimp-1.0 and 1.2 interface compile
without much work for 8-bit mode in cinepaint.
Scripting should be possible with cinepaint/gimp. An batch mode is
available.
