Diego Chagas ca18689304 Open GIMP XCF files: layers, groups, masks, modes, channels and selection (#1076)
PhotoCraft reads GIMP's .xcf (and .xcf.gz) files, read only, through a new
reader in photocraft-io written from the public XCF specification: versions
0 to 26, uncompressed, RLE and zlib tiles, 8/16/32-bit integer and
16/32/64-bit float precisions (linear precisions get a linear profile),
pixel layers at any position, groups by item path with pass-through,
layer masks applied or disabled, opacity, visibility, locks, colour tags,
the 2.10 and legacy blend modes mapped to Photoshop's (modes without an
equivalent open as Normal with a note), the ICC profile, resolution,
guides, the comment, extra channels and the saved selection; indexed
images open as RGB. Text, vector and link layers open as their pixels;
layer effects, paths and floating selections are reported.

Fixtures are written by GIMP 3.2 itself (scripts/xcf_fixtures.py), each
with GIMP's merged rendering as a PNG. In gamma-encoded blend and
composite spaces our composite matches GIMP within 0.5/255; GIMP's
linear-light default, its Clip to backdrop and its clamp-after-alpha
for unbounded modes are documented and measured in docs/xcf.md.
