Supported formats are BMP, DIB, RLE, ICO, EMF, WMF, GIF, ANIMATED GIF, JPEG, JPG, JPE, JFIF, PNG, TIFF, MULTIPAGE TIFF, PNM, PPM, PBM, PFM, PGM, RPPM, RPGM, RPBM, PCX.
Redistributing the optional gdimgplug.dll library you will also be able to read XPM, XBM, WBMP, TGA, SGI, RAW, PICT, Sun RAS, PSD, MNG, Kodak PhotoCD files, KOALA files, JP2, J2K, JNG, JBIG, IFF, HDR, Raw Fax G3, EXR, DDS and Dr. Halo files.

Note for multipage images (TIFF and GIF):
By default, the class loads multipage images (GIF and TIFF) for reading and writing creating a GdPicture image marked as editable multipage.
However this way is a bit slower than creating a GdPicture image marked as non editable multipage.
If you want to open multipage images as read only, you should call the TiffOpenMultiPageAsReadOnly() function for tiff files or the GifOpenMultiPageAsReadOnly() function for gif files.
