I thought long about how much bits I want per color-channel. One format
cannot solve all problems as not one program can do all tasks (even Emacs
may be a great operating system, but it lacks a good text editor).
PNG's limits are actually quite sensible (image width, color depth).

I guess a better way to do that would be to use greyscale-farbfeld files
for each channel or do the non-color -> color mapping separately.
If you deal with infrared light, we can only speak in intensity-terms
anyway, not with mixing colors.
