Standard interchange image format for Open Source DTP

Hi people,

with all the mayor GUI #DTP software reaching their peak: #GIMP, #Scribus and #Inkscape; and the well established #TeX software #ConTeXt and #SpeedataPublisher, and #ImageMagick we need a serious discussion about which image format we should adopt that works seamlessly across all these applications and it is generally accepted in the press workflow, whereas is embedded or not into a PDF file.

It should be something that has good quality, supports #CMYK and Alpha channels and it is #opensource friendly and perhaps an #openstandard.

I would dare to say that perhaps jpeg2000 matches most of them, it exists from a very long time and can be adopted as common ground, however it is need a combined effort, if what I am writing makes sense for you.

ImageMagick supports it, Gimp 3 currently doesn't, #LuaTeX and #LuaMetaTeX neither. I guess that Inkscape once it will be able to export in CMYK it will decide which format using to store images in CMYK with alpha into a PDF.

It would be very beneficial if we can adopt a format that works everywhere and it is press friendly, thanks.

Ich wollte vorhin gerade tooten, und schon kamen Menschen mit Fragen vorbei … ;-)

Aber jetzt euch für euch: Der Löwe, ein paar andere und ich sind heute auf den #CLT2025 am #DANTEeV Stand und beantworten wieder Fragen rund um #TeX & Friends. Also falls ihr zufällig das eine oder andere #TeXLaTeX Problemchen habt, oder Anregungen oder einfach nur den Löwen besuchen wollt …

Er verteilt heute auch wieder kleine Löwen Ansteck-Pins. @clt_news

I wish that there was a #TeX successor with a similar markup to #LaTeX. Macros, the lack of standardization and all the mess drives me crazy. I know that #Typst exists, sure it's faster, but not as readable. Going with Markdown style is not the right way in my opinion. And you can integrate TeX in other programming languages. I use #JuliaLang with it, which I don't think I can do with #Typst.
