We don't have many effects that work on the colors directly.
Those that do cast a pixel tu uint8_t[4] and access the pixels
by position.

So inside gephex we do not get problems, but we often had (and still
have) problems with wrong colors from inputs and in outputs because
for example in X11 the pixel format seems to depend on endianess...

Best regards,

Georg
