    <title>Supported File Formats</title>
    <par>
      Image file format is device independent representation of image data.
      Images in these formats are usually stored as external
      files on hard disk. Many different file formats
      have been created but majority of the images stored anywhere
      are saved in one of a few most widely used formats.
      Main goal of Imaging's file format support is to fully support
      these widely used formats. This means
      successful loading and saving of all images stored in these formats.
      So if you have some image in one of supported formats and it can not
      be loaded by Imaging, please send it to me so I will be able to fix it.
