haiku/docs/userguide/en/preferences/prefs-datatranslations.html
Joachim Seemer 714d0c0567 * Fixed link in applications.html
* Added "setup wizard" and some info on IMAP to prefs-e-mail.html. IMAP is a bit
  broken, as was recently found out, so I'll leave it all at that for now.
* Moved every localization-dependent image into a mirror image folder under its
  language (ATM there's only "en"). Only neutral images like icons remain
  directly under /docs/userguide/images.
* Changed all image links accordingly.
* Removed all height and width attributes to ease exchanging images. Only fixed
  size images (icons) will retain them for faster loading.
* Added a special pre.terminal for printouts to save ink. Thanks Rob Tijssen for
  that suggestion.

<p>Every application has the ability to open and save every file format for which there's a Translator installed. The settings for these Translators are configured in the DataTranslations preferences.</p>

<img src="../images/prefs-images/datatranslations.png" alt="datatranslations.png" />
<p>Depending on its capabilities, each Translator offers different settings. At least you'll get an <span class="button">Info...</span> button that opens a window with the credits and the installation path.<br />
The following table gives an overview of the default Translators and their most useful options.</p>
<table summary="translators" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td><span class="menu">BMP Images</span></td><td>24bit, uncompressed, no transparency</td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="menu">EXR Images</span></td><td><acronym title="Industrial Light &amp; Magic">ILM</acronym>'s high dynamic-range (HDR) format</td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="menu">GIF Images</span></td><td>8bit, lossless compression, transparency<br />
You can reduce the filesize by limiting the number of used colors and the palette.<br />
You can write images with transparency, either by automatically using the alpha channel or by setting the RGB value that will be transparent by hand.</td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="menu">JPEG2000 Images</span></td><td>24bit, compressed, no transparency<br />
Here, you normally only care about the output quality.</td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="menu">JPEG Images</span></td><td>24bit, compressed, no transparency<br />
Besides the output quality you can also set a smoothing that will lessen compression artefacts but can blur the picture a little.</td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="menu">PCX Images</span></td><td>24bit, uncompressed, no transparency, PC Paintbrush Exchange format</td></tr>

<div class="box-info">Screenshots, charts, black&amp;white drawings and other images with few used colors, as well as small pictures are best saved as GIF (up to 256 colors) or PNG (millions of colors). JPEG, for example, introduces compression artefacts without gain in smaller filesize.</div>
