Completely off-topic here, but anyway...
,----[ From the Gimp FAQ ]
| When can we see 16-bit per channel sup****t (or better)?
|
| For some industries, especially photography, 24-bit colour depths (8
| bits per channel) are a real barrier to entry. Once again, it's GEGL to
| the rescue. Work on integrating GEGL into GIMP will begin after 2.4 is
| released. Once that work is completed, GIMP will sup****t 16 bits per
| channel. If you need such sup****t now and can't wait, cinepaint and
| krita sup****t 16 bits per channel now.
|
| It should be noted that for publi****ng to the web, the current GIMP
| release is good enough.

So I think your answer is not correct.
