 ====== infiniMap Converter ======
 The Converter will convert any image that LightWave can load using plugins (( Unfortunately this excludes TGA, FLX and IFF which are both loaded natively by LightWave 3D )) into an ECW/JPEG 2000 image, ready to be used within infiniMap.

 Due to licensing restrictions the Converter is limited to a maximum source image size of 500MB (( The 500MB refer to the raw, uncompressed size of the image. This can be computed using the following formula:
+\\ width * height * number of channels * depth per channel in bytes.
-width * height * number of channels * depth per channel in bytes.
+\\ For example, an image that is 1920x1080 pixels large, contains 4 colour channels (i.e. Red, Green, Blue, Alpha) using 8 byte each (for 256 different shades per channel) would be:
+\\ 1920 * 1080 * 4 * 1 = 6220800 bytes, which is 5.9 MB (divide twice by 1024 to convert from bytes to Megabytes).

 Converting to OpenEXR images is not limited in size.

 These options allow you to convert a (non-linear) source image to linear during the conversion. This is especially useful if the destination image is a tiled OpenEXR image and you work using a linear work-flow because it saves on CPU time that would otherwise be needed to convert the image on demand during a render.
-It is not recommended to store an image as linear in ECW/JPEG 2000 as a colour space conversion from anything but linear is likely to result in banding. This is because a colour space conversion changes the distribution of colour values which then might not be represented exactly in an 8-bit image format like ECW/JPEG 20004.

JPEG 2000 is specified for higher bit depths but implementations using those are rare. )).

 This will finally convert the image. Depending on the image size and CPU speed this may take a couple of minutes. A progress window is displayed during the conversion, and infiniMap will also display some statistics after the conversion has completed.
