No we offer more support than PIL. For example PIL does not support
interlaced pngs or compressed tiffs, we use other tools for that such
as imagemagick and libtiff-tools.

It is not any technical effort to expose them, just add them to a string list:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~stani/phatch/trunk/revision/1596#phatch/lib/openImage.py
My only concern is that it clutters the UI. So I am glad you agree. I
just want not to forget any format, which is commonly used and I am
not aware of. But I guess now we have all of them unless someone
points out one which is not included yet.
