ImageMagick - convert
 

Hello

I have ImageMagick installed and i'm really trying my hardest here, I want to convert a png file which has a Bit depth of 32 bps to a png file with 24Bps

Are there any image experts out there who could tell what the proper command is.

so far im trying

convert -depth 24 name.png name1.png

But for some bizare reason it now tells me that it has a bit depth of 64Bps

Please help

This is the description of the -depth parameter in convert:

24 is an invalid value, although you have 24 bps. I think what you want is a depth of 8, e.g. 8 bits per color, totalling to 24 bits per sample.

On the other hand, how can the format that you have ever be 32 bits? Is it RGBA? But then the depth is still 8 bits, and besides, it is an internal PNG representation.

The picture is off a cursor used in a game, wine wont display it because its 32 bit pixel

But then again, PNG is PNG and convert only understands depths of 8 bits and 16 bits.

If your WINE appliction complains that is is 32 bits, it certainly uses another method of bit counting than convert.

It appears to me that your WINE application is not able to read PNG, at least not the PNG as is written by the application you created it with.

Can't you convert your PNG to JPG, BMP or GIF?
