RE: Colors Distance - Measurement & Visualization
It will be great if it squeezes all 32/16 bits colors into 256 colors since I need most of it for GIF file. Thanks for sharing.

hmm, i don't quite get what you mean... because an 8-bit color = 2^8, which already produces 256 colors..
a 16-bit color = 2^16 = 65536 colors...
a 32-bit color = 2^32 = 4294967296 colors!
i think photoshop and gimp can "auto" select their color tables to limit the colors to 256 or something..
example from this video:
Now you confuse me... 😆
haha.. i guess i understand what u mean... that it'll be great if there's some tool to "compress" 16/32 bit colors into 256 colors...
however, here's the problem... when you try to squeeze 65k colors into 256 colors, you lose information, hence... kindda pointless....
BUT, nowadays technology quite advance, you can sort of manually "select" which colors you want in your 256 color palettes ... which would improve the GIF quality
