Ok, say I want a 4 bit grayscale bitmap. How do I save the file so that
it is only 4 bit depth?
If I have to save it as a 16 color bitmap, which color indexes would be
used for the 4 colors?
Are you saying that if you have a bitmap family that the bitmaps might
be:
1bmp, 4bmp, 4bmp, 8bmp and pilrc would convert the 2nd bitmap to 2 bit?
If so, which colors are chosen for the 4 colors from the 16 in the
original file?
