 .SH NAME
-png2swf - convert one or more PNG pictures to swf
+png2swf - Takes a number of png files and converts them to a swf movie, one
+picture per frame.

 .SH Synopsis
 .B png2swf [-X width] [-Y height] [-o file.swf] [-r rate] file1.png [file2.png...]
+
 .SH DESCRIPTION
-Takes a number of png files and converts them to a swf movie, one
-picture per frame.
+This tools converts png image files into an SWF animation. It takes any
+number of input pictures, and converts them to SWF one-by-one, where every
+converted picture is a seperate frame in the target SWF. 
 .PP
-(SWF files are animation files which can be displayed in Web Browsers using
-the Flash Plugin)
+The way the
+images are encoded in SWF is very similar to PNG (in that a zlib-based, lossless
+compression algorithm is used). Under special circumstances, when the image
+is 32 bpp with alpha information, it is converted to (lossy) jpeg compression
+though, to preserve the alpha, which can't be encoded in any other way in the SWF.
