- Building with AVIF support requires the C library dav1d and is therefore not enabled by default.
- SVGs are rastarized because Simp is primarily a bitmap image editor.
- Most common cameras are supported but the colors may look weird because the standard curve may not fit all images.
- HEIF/HEIC is not supported because it is currently very hard to link libheif on windows.
