Joachim Seemer ca8b8ff27b * Applied patch by Vincent Duvent that cures some XML errors. Thanks!
* Vincent also saw that the logo bg-color is #eeeeee instead of #efefef.
  ->Corrected CSS.
  Also, there can be issues with PNG inside div-blocks setting a bg-color. PNGs
  include a color profile that can screw browser rendering to display different
  colors though using the same RGB values. Interesting. See
  http://www.kaktus.cc/weblog/png_and_color_profiles/
  I stripped the color profile info from the logo.png as suggested at that URL.
  Thanks Vincent!

<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>

<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">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>

<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>
