Problem How to convert 32BPP BMPs to "pltex" 24BPP?

[Parnikkapore]

I'm trying to use pltex, but it kept complaining about color depth on my 32BPP file and gerenated an empty file on a 8-bit file. What should I do?

Try FreeImage.

Would this work?

convert BMP-32.bmp -alpha remove BMP-32-to-24.bmp //The command is part of ImageMagick

OK, better answer, especially if you do not want to get into the coding.

Most graphics programs will handle this for you. The particular method depends on the software you are using. You want to resample the image you are using to a lower colour depth. Irfanview will do this, so will GIMP.

As always, Google is your friend.

I googled up the command in #3

I also found a way to make GIMP render a 24bpp bmp, but I think I'll stick with ImageMagick.

Almost there...
PLtex doesn't complain anymore but spits out an empty .tex file. The original image is 6144x3072. Does it still need powers of 2?

EDIT: 4096x2048 does not work! What is this?
