Filter Forge - Request: Vector Image Format Support

Example: I was making a stone wall texture and had an offset map source image. I had a lot of issues with artifacting around the edges of the stones. I couldn't place stones right next to each other or it would be really bad. With a vector image, either the sample would be in one stone offset or another. There wouldn't be any "bleeding" in between. I suppose this could be worked around in ff3 with an insanely high res input texture but lower overall resolution, but vector images could be really useful. Multiple image support + vectors would let you do just about anything you wanted, looking back on the feature requests for spline drawing, etc. Unfortunately, they couldn't be submitted with the source images, but you could make some cool stuff for personal use.
