If you like a different depth set -depth 8 on a higher Q level IM. You can also select betwwwn binary and text formats for the output. NOTE while NetPBM formats allow ANY depth including non-powers of two! IM only provides limited depth selections for this format. I have reported this and proposed a solution, but no action has been taken.
