IIRC, the support in the TIFF and JPEG plug-ins is as good or bad as in the PNG plug-in. What makes you think that only PNG would "work"? > 2.

This will change, the display filter modules cannot yet access any image properties so the embedded color profile is currently being ignored. > 4.

I hope to be able to start working on it at some point, but I can't promise anything and I would prefer if I could just help someone else to finish this.
