Image Color Depth
The program supports the following color formats:
-
true-color with alpha-channel (32-bit)
-
true-color (24-bit)
-
256-color (8-bit)
-
16-color (4-bit)
-
monochrome (1 bit)
Changing the format of the color, icon colors are automaticly converted accordingly.
When converting to 16-color format, you can select a level of dithering.
Since icons generally are such a small size,
that the quality of the 256-color image is very similar to a true-color image.
So, if you select 256 color format and draw an icon, you have a limited
range of colors. AWicons provides a high-quality color reduction
algorithm, so that you can create a 256-color icon from your original true-color
images. |
