I don't know what you men by image format
vs. file format.
Maybe a misapplication from video formats (?)... I wondered too
if a single image and the file that contains it might involve
different types of "formats".
Also if a sheet-fed scanner generates a file that contains
multiple images (say from each page of a multi-page paper
consultation), would this be a problem for gnumed to import? I think
this is a "metafile"?
