Hello,
I frequently work with images with only a few specific colors (like the colors from the standard VGA color palette). The source images are 256 color, and I do a batch conversion using 'decrease color depth' to 16.
Problem is that the colors that Irfanview chooses are not allways the same, and white pixels are no longer pure white but something like 252-252-252.
I would like a feature in 'decrease color depth' that allows you to select the color palette to use.
Note : when you just do 'import palette' of a 16 color palette, the colors are decreased to 16 colors, but the pixels in the image are not remapped to the new palette. This means that if 'red' is index 10 in the old palette, and in the new palette index 10 is 'green', then all red pixels will become green.
This is the intended behaviour for 'import palette' of course. Maybe there could be an option 'remap pixels to closest color' in 'import palette' to get the functionality I need.
Best regards,
Marc
