Higher bit-depth than 8 bits per channel

[gsurrel]

Hello,

I'm interested in Graphite for a special use case (some guided procedural terrain generation), generating a grey-scale image as a height map. However, when exporting to PNG or JPG, it seems I get only 8 bits per channel. Are other modes available? I'm thinking about floating-point, which would be pretty great for my use-case, but even a depth of 16 bits would already help.

Maybe, probably, other tools would be more adequate, but it's just for quick prototyping. Feel free to add it to your backlog if you think it would be useful.

FYI, here is my test file: ParametricTerrain.graphite.zip

This is a planned feature but raster support has not yet been the focus. Next year we expect it to be.
