 *  An abstract base class for the images themselves.
 *  Allows the user to retrieve the pixmap, once loaded and to issue commands
 *  to modify it.
 *
 *  The signals newImage and loadableFormats are connected to the approriate
 *  derived classes elsewhere, allowing the graphics cache to access them
 *  without knowing anything about their instantiation.
 *
 *  The loading process can be asynchronous, but cropping, rotating and
 *  scaling block execution.
