Convert 16-bit images to 8 bits when saving

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is an enhancement request:

Xee does a great job displaying many RAW formats.  It would be great if it 
could also save the resulting images in jpeg format, rather than offering png 
only.

This is because the RAW file uses more than 8 bits per colour channel, and JPEG 
in OS X only supports 8 bits. PNG supports 16 bits, which is why it is offered 
as an option.

There should be some code to convert it down (and perhaps warn about it), but 
that will probably be a later addition.
