You can also choose between the Octree (default) and Median Cut palette generator algorithms. You can also apply dithering, just like you can when saving an image at 8-bit or lower bit-depth. Here’s a simple example of using Quantize to reduce the # of colors in an image. A new effect, Quantize (in the Effects -> Color menu), has been added, some bugs have been fixed, and bundled file type plugins have been updated. This updates fixes and optimizes palette generation when saving at 8-bit depth or less, and also fixes any remaining issues with using "Auto-detect" for bit-depth.
