imagemagick conversion

[Taras]

Hello,
I'm trying to convert some photos so they could be displayed in plucker. Currently I'm using the latest imagemagick with the following parameters.
convert -map palmcolor8.map -depth 8 -sample 75x100 -compress rle /cygdrive/d/Palm/sdfsd/localhost_31337/palm/ShowAgent/00312.jpg palm:agent.palm
When I use the above commandline with the map file from netpbm(thats where its supposed to come from?) I get quite a few junk pixels in the shadows on the photograph.
When I don't specify the colormap, imagemagick generates a somewhat better looking file, but it sort of looks like a vector tracing of a photograph since there is so many solid areas. Also when I use this method, my photo doesn't seem to want to be as big(causes plucker crashes) as with the explicit colormap parameter.

My question is there a way to get image quality as good as PIL without using pil? netpbm seems to be limited..imagemagick appears like it work work, but I get these problems. Are there any other tools for the tbmp coversion?

This is running in palmos 5.2 simulator on windows using high_res plucker.

Any hints or pointers will be appreciated,
Taras

ps.
there seems to be a bug in plucker where if the home record is an image(zlib compressed in this case), it causes the viewer to produce an error about not enough memory and gets it all confused.


Also are there any plans on using non-tbmp format in plucker? Like embedding jpegs directly or something.
