You are right, PSD is not an option, it would mean always behind Adobe and never able to include new things. And even less now that the specs are harder to get, and some data I doubt will be ever public (is Gimp hardlight 100% the same than Photoshop for example?). About TIFF, every now and then someone appears with an horror story about TIFF files, so while better than PSD, I dunno if enough. :/ GSR
