Converting PNG24 bit to PNG 8 bit
Posted: 2010-07-13T11:58:31-07:00
Hi,
I am trying to convert 24 bit PNG to 8 bit PNG. I used Convert command with -depth as 8. The identify command shows 8 bit depth but when I look at the file attributes in explorer it shows 24 bit. Also, after changing the depth to 8 bit, the file size did not get small instead remained where it was. When I do the same using GIMP, I can see the attribute changing to 8 bit and also file size reduces significantly. Any idea why this is happening?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
