You might try L-View Pro, too.  It coverts from just about any format to any
other format merely by saving the file with a name ending in the extension
appropriate to the format into which the graphic will be converted.  After
conversion, all sorts of color/hue/density modifications can be made.
 
It's shareware readily available on the Internet.
