CinePaint is an open source computer program for painting and retouching bitmap frames of films. It is a fork of version 1.0.4 of the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). It enjoyed some success as one of the earliest open source tools developed for feature motion picture visual effects and animation work. The main reason for this adoption over mainline gimp was its support for high bit depths (greater than 8-bits per channel) which can be required for film work. The mainline gimp plans to add (but has not yet added) these features . It is free software under the GNU General Public License.
CinePaint has been in use for many years in feature motion pictures. CinePaint was used by studio Rhythm & Hues for Scooby-Doo, Harry Potter, Cats & Dogs, Dr. Dolittle 2, Little Nicky, Grinch, Sixth Day, Stuart Little, and Planet of the Apes. Sony Pictures Imageworks used CinePaint for Stuart Little II. Hammerhead Productions used it for Showtime and Blue Crush, and will use it for The Fast and the Furious II.
