This program looks pretty amazing. I do believe I will make an effort to get one of those free copies...
I do notice one huge, glaring lack in the stand-alone version, however: No PNG support! I do, well, all my work in PNG, and if I want to process my hundreds of images with Filter Forge, I have to convert them or go via Photoshop.  --

I strongly support this. Currently I use FF only in standalone mode and the lack of PNG support is a bit of a downer. |

Just didn't have time to implement it.
If we're going to, we won't support PNG extensions like intended aspect ratio (who uses that anyways?), ICC profile and/or chromaticity data (we don't support color management), sRGB (it's almost identical to generic 2.2 gamma, and we'll support the proper sRGB conversions no sooner than we support color management), textual data and paletted images (maybe reading, but certainly not writing).
We will support gamma correction  |

If you rely on some PNG functionality not described here (or explicitly rejected) -- feel free to post here, we'll consider it. |

As long as I am able to open plain simple transparent PNGs I'm happy. No fancy functions needed. |

I don't use .png either. Not that there is anything wrong with .png but I find .jpg, .bmp, and .tif to fill all my needs. With LW I use a LOT of .tga, which is a nice format with lossless compression AND alpha channel support.
Importing images should support the following (at the very least)
.tif
.tif (32bit)
.bmp
.jpg
.png
.tga
.tga (32bit)
I have literally thousands of .tga and .bmp files. To convert those to .jpg every time is tiresome, but not a dealbreaker. the artist formerly known as Bongo51 |

Reading paletted images is important if you're going to have any support at all for PNG. The program reading this PNG file and not that file is a potentially very confusing situation for a user. Good software shouldn't confuse the user. --

bongo,
i'd add .gif to that list too. good way to break into the animation arena.

All this is already implemented, except PNG. I wonder why nobody has mentioned OpenEXR  |
