Hei. New here, but had a thought: the trouble with viewer applications could be overcome by allowing storage of the composed picture in the file as well. Wyrfel 09:24, 15 Apr 2006 (PDT)

duplicate effort

PDF has most or all of this (plus a bit more), and is an ISO standard. MXMLG probably also covers all of this, and is controlled by Adobe, but a publiclly documented format. I think the US government also has an XML image format, but nobody uses it.

Unit specifications

What are the units for effects? Pixels, inches, cm, miles? Shouldn't they be specified?

Interoparbility

How are you going to get interoperability without specifying the blending and effects math? Or is random results from application to application really acceptable?

Generality for raster images

Are you only supporting the few raster formats that PNG supports? Or going for something more general (like TIFF, that basically supports everything)?


Dont use UTF-16

... unless you dont mind the endianness issues.

How are you going to deal with international text?
