KOffice Filters Status (Development)
Which filters are there?
At the moment all parts of KOffice support the filter architecture
(e.g.: the parts are able to use filters for file conversion), the filters are not perfect
and some not even done. The status of the current filters is listed here, sorted per
application.
Note: this document is about KOffice SVN (the developer version).

Krita
Krita can use ImageMagick for importing and exporting images. This means that, in addition to the file formats listed below, Krita can work with all images that your installation of ImageMagick supports. This includes all common image file formats, including the native formats of Photoshop and the Gimp.
More information on file formats supported by ImageMagick.
