The following table gives an overview of the default Translators and their most useful options.</p>

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>

<div class="box-info">Screenshots, charts, black&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>
