In this case .jpg is not an option. I think we can live without the translucent petal effect, so maybe this makes it a little simpler to concentrate on file size.
Last night I looked through convert options for how to limit the number of colors of a .gif image but didn't find anything 'obvious'. Is there something similar to jpg's -quality ( -quality -60 ) such that I can set something like "convert watch.png -whatever_option 64 watch.gif" thus limiting to 64 color max? _______________________________________________ Magick-users mailing list [email protected] http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users
