+===== Other formats =====
+The ESRF fabio library, which you must have installed by now, can open and read many formats. Below is an example python program that will convert a series ''CBF'' files placed into a folder to ''EDF''.
+As you can see, the code is not specific to CBF, as long as Fabio can read it, it will work...
+<code>
+import glob
+import fabio, os
+cbf_dir = "/folder/with/CBFFiles"
+edf_dir = "/folder/to/save/EDFFiles"
+dest_format = "edf"
+# Starting value of omega
+omegastart = -23.5
+# Omega step
+omegastep = 0.5
+# The first file will be assigne a value of omega = omegastart+omegastep/2.
+files = glob.glob("%s/*.cbf" % cbf_dir)
+files.sort()
+print("Number of files: %s" % len(files))
+if not os.path.exists(edf_dir):
+    os.makedirs(edf_dir)
+omega = omegastart + omegastep / 2.
+for onefile in files:
+    dst_name = os.path.join(edf_dir, os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(onefile))[0] + "." + dest_format)
+    print("Converting %s into %s" % (onefile, dst_name))
+    im = fabio.open(onefile)
+    im.header["Omega"] = omega
+    im.convert(dest_format).save(dst_name)
+    omega += omegastep
+print ("Read %d file in %s" % (len(files), cbf_dir))
+print ("Saved %d file in %s"% (len(files), edf_dir))
+print ("Done")
