That's right, but that was not my intention. I just wanted to ensure that everybody has the same picture and does not insert lines by hand etc. I did not think about image filters at first, and of course they are very important for most converters (even for Jave) if you want to get a really good result. Again: I've already dropped this limitation. Markus
