- Or, if you don't mind being unorthodox and shunned at parties, use
- the Independent JPEG Group's software as a quantizer. It reads targa
- directly. On MS-DOS, I think you give it input and output files, so
- you'd do:
-
- PC> cjpeg -Q 100 image.tga image.jpg
- PC> djpeg -G image.jpg image.gif
-
- This is the best quantizer I know of.
