Hi!

Just a doubt: when we use --with-quantum-depth=, we are defining the default quantum depth or the maximum depth that ImageMagick will be able to deal with?

Thank you!

The quantum depth is the depth ImageMagick uses internally. All image formats are scaled to the quantum depth. It is only a maximum depth if HDRI is not defined. If you recall, HDRI permits pixels outside the the quantum depth range (e.g. 0..65535 for Q16).
