I just received my copy in the mail yesterday. One new feature
that I wasn't aware of previously is the QUERY_* routines
to query TIFF, JPEG, PNG, etc files about their size,
data types, etc. etc. without having to actually read
the data. Very nice.

And there is even a GET_DECOMPOSED keyword for the
DEVICE command that can tell you whether you are using
decomposed color or not. Heaven... :-)

Cheers,

David
