Yes, I took a look at Krita again after not trying it for a long time, and it has progressed quite a bit. It supports CMYK color, which the Gimp still lacks.

I still sit on the sidelines, waiting. I'll start looking at an OSS graphics program when it supports all of the following: duotones, LAB, Pantone/HKS, CMYK, more than 8 bits per channel, good color management and gamma, adjustment layers and quality font rendering. I might be missing a few from this quickly thought-up list, so don't hold me to that right now.

I'm trying to capture a short clip from a video file I have. I can play the file in Xine and VLC, but neither product seems to be able to capture a short clip of the video--stills, yes, but not video.

Do you know of any linux product that can capture short clips from .avi or .mpg files?

Krita supports 16 bits per channel. Dunno about the rest.
