Glad that you think it is correct.  I was worried that it might break 
something.

Upon closer inspection I think you'll see that the logic of the 
statements is unchanged.  I was working on adding an additional case for 
24-bpp and reworked the if/else pairs to more a "set default/override 
default it needed" structure.  Looked cleaner to me, so I left it :)

Let me know if you still think it is changed or not after another 
inspection.
