+Experimental converter that transforms standard png, jpg and bmp files to useable bmp files which can be used by the Calendar.
+# Currently in ALPHA mode. Please use with caution and keep backups
+# Version 1.0 (initial)

+# Copyright by Ace-Laboratory
+"""
+
+## What this script does:
+# grab images from one folder, perform some operations and paste them in an output folder.
+# The operations consists of removing the alpha channel, reducing the colours to (currently) just two,
+# Inverting the colours (as the display inverts them again) and rotating the picture by 90 deg clockwise
+
+## Please only use png files for now as that has been tested and confirmed to work so far.
