I see two bold options: 1) open and read lazily, chunk-by-chunk (where
possible); 2) s/open/setPath|setDevice/ and read just everything.

ImageDocument doc;
doc.mimeType() // <-- invalid, nothing to save
doc.addResourse(Resource(img), ..);
doc.suitableMimeTypes() // <-- i.e. mime types for which the pixel format
[and possible metadata] are supported, makes sense for save dialog, etc.
doc.addResourse(Resource(img2), frame=1, ..);
doc.suitableMimeTypes() // <-- now we have frames, the mime types list
changes
doc.generateMipmaps();
doc.suitableMimeTypes() // <-- ...and mipmaps => image/x-dds?
