Re: convert - downscaling comic pages
Assuming updating IM does not fix the problem: What happens if you put +repage before -depth 8?

Re: convert - downscaling comic pages
Steve: Are you still using mozjpeg? Make sure your jpeg and png libraries are compatible with ImageMagick. convert -verbose or -version does not necessarily give the whole story because, for example, libjpeg-turbo often installs itself (or, rather, is often installed) as if it was libjpeg (I think; ...

Re: convert - downscaling comic pages
Is it the +repage command that interacts badly with the bit depth shift? This would be a bug in IM, I think.
Do you really need it? Can you just replace it by -strip?
(As always, really quickly off the top of my head.)

Re: convert - downscaling comic pages
For the 16 to 8 bit png result, what do you mean by "worthwhile"? Why would it be better at 8-bits apart from the file size? Steve cares about file size, and an 8-bit png is almost invariably going to be much smaller than a 16-bit one. ----- I am still waiting for Steve's conclusion RE: w...

Re: convert - downscaling comic pages
Steve:
Pretty conclusive.
-----
This is what I remember. (Anyone: correct me if I'm wrong.)
If the input image is 8-bit and you are producing a png, you'll get an 8-bit png.
If the input image is 16-bit and you are producing a png, -depth 8 may be worthwhile.

Re: convert - downscaling comic pages
I could be wrong, but I don't think "-depth 16" (or any other number) at the start of the command will make any difference until the image is written to a file. All internal processing is done according to Q and HDRI; a depth number makes no difference. That's what I thought too, but sinc...

EWA RobidouxSharp winning over orthogonal and EWA Catrom is what I expected.

Re: convert - downscaling comic pages
Put -depth 8 right before the output file name if you put a -depth 16 near the beginning. This tells IM that what you want from now on (and "from now on" means "for the output file" since it is just before the output file) is 8-bit per channel. Because you are using HDRI Q16, the...

Re: convert - downscaling comic pages
If you want lossless compression, don't use JPEG. Use pngs and pngcrush. However, very high -quality (starts at about 95) is basically impossible to distinguish from lossless unless you make it your mission of seeing the difference (instead of enjoying the content). At -quality 98 no one should comp...

Re: convert - downscaling comic pages
The only way to compare JPEG compressors (and resampling methods, for that matter) is to compare visual quality at the same file size and level of being "stripped" (see the documentation for exiftool), meaning that the same amount of metadata must be present in the images.

Re: convert - downscaling comic pages
libjpeg-turbo has an interface that clones every version of libjpeg that has been put out (at least the older ones), which I understand is what IM expects. It looks like mozjpeg is not. Mismatched API -> no go.
