well, i guess one conversion per processing a whole picture (or better: 
one conversion when setting a value) is not that bad.

int is surely the "right" way. but i though it more convenient to use 
floats (0..1) which "maps" automagically to ints when using negative 
numbers (-1 .. -255). But of course, that's not correct in mathematical 
terms....

and then we have all these compatibility issues with old patches...
