Hello GIMP gurus,
Is there a way to turn an image into indexed color mode with a custom palette while specifying a number of colors as well?
I want to say turn a full RGB image into let's say 8 colors (indexed) but not generate optimum palette but 8 colors from my palette of colors.

Quote:Currently,
the Cross-stitch turns image into indexed colors (number of colors specified by user).
Then it replaces each indexed color by a closest match DMC thread color.
This process isn't the optimal, since turning to indexed colors already does some conversion and then matching DMC colors does some more conversion to it's 2 conversions which could take us further from original.
I was thinking of using the indexed colors where you specify a palette which I could make that already contain the DMC thread colors. So that it's one conversion so it's better. But now the problem is GIMP doesn't allow you to specify number of colors when you specify a custom pallete.
Any ideas on how I could do this? reducing number of colors while using a custom palette?
