At the STC conference in Anaheim last year, I attended a session on
graphics given by Neil Perlin. It was great. Very knowledgeable guy.
He recommended a book -- Encyclopedia of Graphics File Formats, second
edition -- Murray and VanRyper, O'Reilly. It was a big fat book, and looked
great. I haven't bought it yet so can't personally recommend it, but it's
definitely worth checking into.
Best,
