Support for XCF

For use with the gimp, it would be convenient to be able to export into the XCF format.

Thank you for the suggestion. Does the XCF format works better than TIFF with GIMP?

The use of XCF as a data interchange format is not recommended by the GIMP developers, since the format reflects the GIMP's internal data structures, and there may be minor format changes in future versions.

Thank you,
Vlad

TIFF discards the EXIF data.

I would disagree. TIFF is able to preserve the EXIF records and all non-Demo editions of Neat Image use this TIFF capability.
