I have a 2 color indexed bitmap, how can I force it into a 24-bit bmp?

The reason I want to do thins is because I have an application that can only read 24-bit bmp files.

try

convert 2color.bmp -type truecolor 24bit.bmp

if you are on Q16 IM, you may have to add -depth 8 to force to 8-bits per channel.

Worked perfectly with -type truecolor.

Thank you!
