It makes a big difference in size in indexed color formats how many colors a picture has. One can see this when switching from 8 to 4 bit (or 2). PMView sometimes reduces the number of colors according to internal tables (it says 6-bit for example).
But: I didn't ever get the hang of willingly reducing the number of colors - say: from 254 or such to say 137 which may preserve an acceptable quality but reduces the needed size to a minimum. It is doable: one might edit the colors within the palette editor to equal values - PMView will correct the numbers after loading the palette again. I think that this process could be "automized" and the "quantizing" of colors could be done by algorithms that might well be implemented in the code. I know that christmas hasn't come yet but .... ;-))) Regards, Andreas |
