Gimp-loaders-1

This is the first package with loader and saver plugins for Gimp 2.6.11 for
AmiCygnix.

GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distribu-
ted program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image
authoring.


IMPORTANT!
----------

  It is NOT really necessary to install this package to be able to load and
  save these image formats!
  Gimp 2.6.11 has internal loaders (and some savers) to support these formats.

  Install this package, if you ...

  ... need the additional features of the original plug-ins. They offer special
  settings and a progress window. The internal loaders are only simple plug-ins
  without a GUI.

  ... need the additional savers.

  On the other hand, the internal loaders and savers are faster than the
  original plug-ins.
