While working on a couple new graphics (based on existing ones), I made heavy use of layers. I could grab elements from other arch tiles, put them on a layer (reuse), and then use layers to add unique features.
In one case, I drew a tile from scratch, but used layers to hold particular components of the tile so that it was easy to rework different aspects of the tile... especially those involving curves, filters, randomness, etc. Putting only the .png in SVN feels like putting a pre-compiled object into the repository... useful... but... not exactly conducive to facilitating any type of rework. Does anyone else think that putting the source files into SVN is a good idea, or just extra clutter? I realize, for example, my source files are likely GIMP-specific, and I suppose each artist's favorite editor uses a different format. That might be the biggest obstacle. The next, perhaps, that artists come few and far between, so the likelihood of actual use may be very low, Beyond that, if it seems a good idea to various people, what file format preferences are out there?
