Correct. locolour is 8-bit or (256 colour). In konqueror just hover over
the image and look for the image bpp (probably 256 for tranparencies in
icons). I believe kfile plugins handle this. You can open the image in
kolourpaint and choose 'save as' .... then select 256 colours from the drop
down. You will be warned that saving in locolor (8-bit) will may compromise
transparency.

How do I do those things with Trinity apps? Considering all the Trinity graphics
apps I would have thought that learning image information should
be trivial. Thus far the only stat I have learned is size. Nothing about
color depth, etc.
How do I convert/save a 24-bit image as
"locolor"?
ImageMagick ? read on:
Of all of the various TDE image viewers, how do I

an image's

(kolourpaint, krita, showfoto, gwenview). I am
missing
the big picture
altogether, probably because I don't know the
terminology.
`display` from ImageMagick:
$ display whatever.png
<right-click> on the image, and select "Image Info"
from the dropdown.
`convert` from ImageMagick may be what you want to achieve
"locolor".
A quick check shows that ImageMagick provides some of that information,
but
let's get back to Trinity. :)
Considering that throughout Linux-dom icons are packaged as hicolor and
locolor, I
would have thought that within a link or two I would discover
the criteria or definition of those terms. I'm still looking....

Hi Darrell,
I believe that "locolor" images (like some of the old icons) have a
colour-depth
of 8 bits. You can convert images to 8 bits with Showfoto. Just select
color >
depth > 8 bits.
I hope this helps.
Richard.
