- xv (as of version 2.21) appears to manipulate images up to 24-bit RGB,
- even though it cannot display them with more than eight bits. Corrections
- or pointers to newer versions are entirely welcome.
-
- The cropping functions etc. are indeed friendly, though I have encountered
- certain TIFF images which xv was unable to successfully read.
-
- (One of these days I'll get around to adding support for .rgb format!)
