  FYI, PNG is not the only image format that supports more than 8 bits per
color channel. It isn't even the first, AFAIK.

  A clear example of non-modular programming. If that plugin system was
modular enough, those plugins would automatically support any color depth,
be it 8, 16 or 1024 bits per channel.
