You could definitely use bzipped farbfeld as a storage format, but this is not what it is meant for. In the end it simplifies the program so that it only has to deal with farbfeld data instead of dozens of image formats. The conversion can happen in-situ and is generally no problem, as any image viewer program has to do that anyway to get the raw "bits". The overhead of first writing those bits into a farbfeld stream is pretty minimal. Cheers FRIGN -- FRIGN <d...@frign.de>
