Is this true? In fact GEGL is already tied to libopenraw which is a Raw can-opener written from scratch. Unfortunately, libopenraw seems to be discontinued by its developer, so the future perhaps lies in libraw which is dcraw turned into a modern library with multithreading support and all that jazz. As soon as GIMP starts using GEGL loaders, someone could write a loader via libraw. > 2.

There is nothing special about PFM what would make it difficult to support this file format in GEGL and, later, in GIMP. Judging by some projects, creating a PFM saver is a few days work, if not less. One just needs to sit down and actually write code. That's all.
