Best Way To Reduce Colors In Photoshop Or Another Software?

Posted by benny in FreeWare on May 19th, 2009 | 3 responses

Hello,
I need to reduce colors from photos to like 40-60 for a project. It is very important though that the quality of the picture stays as good as possible.
Are there more effective ways to do this beside choosing Indexed Colors in Photoshop?
Using some Blur or other filters before reducing colors?
Is there any other software which is better fit for this job?
Any tricks are very appreciated!

    Hi. I read some books and do not remember there is another way. But when saving as GIF files, remeber to check “Preserve Exact Colors”.
    You can also go to File>Save for Web> then select in flyout menu on right (small triangle) – Select All Web Safe Colors, and eventually choose colors. If there are noise problems, try checking Diffusion, instead of No Dither on the left side, above the color palette.
    When You select 32 colors in po-up at right, eventually add also Restrictive (Web) instead of Perceptual 1 pop-up window above previous.
    All I talk here is about CS2 – I did not have earlier versions.
    I cannot help You more. Sorry
    Ciao

    In Photoshop I go to “Hue/Saturation” under image-adjustments and lower the saturation level. Hope that helps.
