How to create a PCX 4 bits

[jpiquemal]

Hello
I try to create a PCX 4 bits - 16 colors from a JPEG 24 bits.

convert -colors 16 test.jpg test.pcx

I always get a PCX with 16 colors, OK, but it's a 8-bits PCX.

Any idea ?

I don't know PCX or if IM supports 4-bits, but try adding -depth 4 to your command line.

PCX does support 4-bits.
-depth 4 produces a 24-bits PCX
