Yes 5 years ago from a basic user standpoint where he was still pretty rare and difficult to work with. Even the GMU image manipulation program required an add-on plugin to open them. Today it opens exports and manipulate some just fine as does krita blender and most other applications that I try to use it with. It’s not the formats fault. It’s the greedy corporate monocultures that can’t be bothered to compete and implement new features and formats to cater to their customers. Because you’re not there? You are their products.
