This still does appear to change the resultant colormap (Unused colors are stripped) but retains the BMP type as still being indexed. Perfectly ...

Moving +append to after the input images fixes that. I'm going to play around with -remap and -type palette to see what is ideal for my case.

Thanks again for the info!

Thanks for the response! 'convert in.bmp -type palette BMP3:out.bmp' and 'convert in.bmp -type palette BMP2:out.bmp' work for simple examples but not for more complex operations like: 'convert +append img0.bmp img1.bmp img2.bmp -type palette BMP3:newimg.bmp' Where imgN.bmp are all indexed bitmaps ...
