Yes it would be nice if view/pro had a raw-image! datatype which is a static pointer
to a raw chunky mode image block of data. on amiga this would be a planar mode image,
I guess.
the only problem I see with rebol is the alpha channel... is it standard to store the
alpha at the end of the datablock, or do other dev tools usually store alpha channel
data as the fourth byte of every pixel?
Xnview is a nice library... if only it had alias wavefront maya (iff) format... its always
missing, although it might only be because of a licensing issue... are you successfully
using knview.dll to read/save out images in other formats, even if slow as hell?
Image magic is a complete 16 bit per channel compositing api. its built from people
in/around the film industry. If my memory serves me well its a spin off of an old sgi
project.
