Deark -- Information about supported formats


=== Image format modules ===

(Images that are not "extracted" will be converted to PNG, except as noted.)

  - Truecolor only. Grayscale not supported.

* Alpha Microsystems BMP (module="alphabmp") (experimental)

* Amiga Workbench Icon (module="amigaicon")
  - Original format: Mostly supported, but the format is not portable, and
    there is not just one correct way to render the images.
  - NewIcons: Fully supported.
  - GlowIcons / OS3.5: Compressed images are supported. Uncompressed images are
    not.

* AMOS Picture Bank (module="abk")
