Reducing the color depth of 24-bit JPEGs to 8 colors seems to be broken, the output file has more than 8 colors.

Also in 1.75...

As stated above:

Microsoft standard JPEG Tulips [Attached] --> 99986 unique colors

XnView MP 0.93 Image > Change color depth... -8 -->Output has 8 unique colors :D

XnConvert 1.77 Actions > Change color depth -8 -->Output has 9155 unique colors :(

Am I missing something?

Reducing color depth using XnView MP 0.93 Image > Reduce color depth... with similar settings produces the expected 8 colors.

Am I missing something or is there a bug in XnConvert?
