Image formats

Should this section also list which program transfers ICC profiles, exif tags or other meta data from input to output image files? I'm not sure if all of this (now listed) information would also fit into one table with "r/w" (or yes/no/n.a.) cells? Something like

application	JPG	TIFF (8 bit)	TIFF (16 bit)	TIFF (32 bit)	PNG (8 bit)	PNG (16 bit)
PTStitcher	r/w	r/w	r/w	/	r/w	/
PTMender	r/w	r/w	r/w	/	r/w	/
nona	r/w	r/w	r/w	r/w	r/w	/
PTGui internal stitcher	r/w	r/w	r/w	r/w	r/w	r/w

r: read | w: write

Very good, but with all of the images formats ( current + PSD, PSB, EXR, HDR) a bit too large. At least I didn't have an idea how to structure it... --Erik Krause 22:03, 15 November 2007 (CET)

Oh sure, that's true. I could change x and y axis, so we need only four columns. --Carl 23:30, 15 November 2007 (CET)

file format	PTStitcher	PTMender	nona	PTGui (internal stitcher)
JPG	read / write	read / write	read / write	read / write
TIFF (8 bit)	read / write	read / write	read / write	read / write
TIFF (16 bit)	read / write	read / write	read / write	read / write
TIFF (32 bit)	n.a.	n.a.	read / write	read / write
PNG (8 bit)	read / write	read / write	read / write	read / write
PNG (16 bit)	n.a.	n.a.	n.a.	read / write
EXR	n.a.	n.a.	read / write	read / write
HDR	n.a.	n.a.	read / write	read / write
PSD (8 bit) single or multi layer	write only	n.a.	n.a.	write only
PSD (16 bit) single layer	write only	n.a.	n.a.	write only
PSD (16 bit) multi layer	n.a.	n.a.	n.a.	write only
PSB (8, 16 or 32 bit) single or multi layer	n.a.	n.a.	n.a.	write only
QTVR (cylindrical)	write only	n.a.	n.a.	n.a.
QTVR (cubic)	n.a.	n.a.	n.a.	write only

n.a.: not available
How about this? Is it better to have read / write instead of r / w? n.a. is now in italics... --Carl 10:14, 16 November 2007 (CET)
