Hi All,

Sorry if this gets posted twice.  My first post doesn't appear to have made
it through to the list.

I need a little help converting some bmp files.  I am trying to reduce the
size of some bmp files as much as possible while still keeping the image in
bmp format.
Right now I am running the following command

convert input.bmp -depth 8 -colors 256 +profile "*" output.bmp

Now, my input file is 9k.

After running the convert command above I  get an 11k file.
When I open the image with Microsoft Paint and save as a 256 color bmp file
I get a 5k file.

When I use 'identify' to look at both images I see that ImageMagick created
a 'DirectClass' image whereas Paint created a PsuedoClass image.


Any idea what's going on here?
