[julia-users] Is it possible to imread indexed images?

[Yakir Gagnon]

In Images.jl, is it possible to read an indexed image so that the Type of 
the image is ImageCmap and one of its fields is the colormap?

I tried this:
(in shell)
convert rose: +dither -colors 256 -type palette rose_palette.gif
convert rose_palette.gif -format %r info:
PseudoClass sRGB *=> this means it's an indexed image (with a palette)*

and in Julia:
julia> using Images
julia> isdirect(imread("rose_palette.gif"))
true *=> which means that it's not indexed...*

Thanks in advance (probably) Tim!
