Look for a package called ImageMagick on freshmeat. It provides a utility
called 'convert' which allows you to convert image types for whatever
libraries you have available.

ie, png -> jpg, gif -> png, jpg -> tiff

It's quite handy.

I'm sure there's a few RPM dependancy issues that may arise if you use an
RPM rather than building from source, but hopefully this will at least point
you in the right direction.
