  Putting the source files in their seems reasonable to me.  I think this was 
done in the past when some folks where using 3d models for make some objects, 
and put the source 3d files into the repository.

  I'd also say that putting in the gimp .xcf files might be the best standard. 
I know that is what I use when editing images - and I suspect that is probably 
what most people, at least those using a unixy type system, probably use.

  The other thing is that it is freely available and crossplatform - you can get 
gimp for windows and macos.  There may be other applications with similar 
features - in fact, I'm sure there are, but they probably are not as standard.
