Comp.graphics.formats would be useful, since most of the GIF, TIFF and
PC/Mac paint/draw file format questions could go there.

I also think that comp.graphics.hardware would be useful group, since
that would be appropriate for all those frame buffer, video signal
conversion and printer questions.

Another choice would be to leave comp.graphics for general questions
and create comp.graphics.software or comp.graphics.algorithms. This
would solve the problem that arises when people do not know of or do not
trust the new [hardware/formats] groups and post to the old group anyway.
