create 8bit/pixel color image

[gregq]

I need to convert a ppm file from 24bits/pixel of color information to 8bits/pixel of color information. I tried convert but it gave me 24bits/pixel even though I asked for only 256 colors.

command: convert GB9.ppm -dither none -colors 256 GB9.txt

Is there away to convert an image (of any format) to eight bits/pixel of color information? Three bits of red, three bits of green and two bits of blue.

Thanks Much

You are wanting a 'pallete' image and image file format for 8bit/pixel.

Either that or a realy really limited color set. such as produced by the "netscape:" built in image

[gregq]

Actually, I would prefer to not have a palette.

Then you may have to DIY your own 'Direct Color Indexing' file format. The "stream" command can help you with this, if you can figure out its 'map' handling.

8-bits/pixel total color in IM is -type palette, so try

convert GB9.ppm -dither none -colors 256 -type palette GB9.txt

If you save as an image rather than txt, then use gif format for output or possibly png, but not jpg

[gregq]

Thanks for the help. Using:

convert GB9.ppm -dither none -colors 256 -type palette GB9.txt

still produces 3bytes of color data per pixel. One byte for each color.

I don't understand how you could get 3bits for each channel, that would be 9bits of color (RGB), which is rather strange and not something IM supports as far as I know? What do you get from

convert GB9.ppm +dither -colors 256 -depth 8 -type palette -verbose info:

You are getting exactly an 8-bit total per channel palette image with 256 colors. I believe IM translates the palette into the colors for each channel as 8-bits so it can tell you the equivalent min, max etc stats.

Base type: Palette
Colorspace: RGB
Depth: 8-bit


So perhaps you want something else. If so please clarify.
