Custom bit depth ver. 2.10.20 - PiranhaFlip - 07-14-2020 Hi, I am trying to create an image with a specific bit depth to trial something to see if I can take it to a manufacturing process at work. Long story short, I need finer control over the bit depth of my images. I am using GIMP 2.10.20, can anyone help me with how to create an image with bit depths that are not available on the default precision drop down list? (File -> New -> Advanced Options -> Precision) At the moment I need a 4 bit per pixel bitmap image. Is this even possible with GIMP? Thanks in advance! RE: Custom bit depth ver. 2.10.20 - rich2005 - 07-14-2020 I am not sure if it is possible with Gimp. You could try putting the image into indexed mode with a 16 colour pallete, then export as a .bmp (with compatibility mode off - maybe) [attachment=4649] Otherwise you probably need to use ImageMagick see: http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?t=35655 Best place to ask questions is now: https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/discussions
