ImageMagick preserve custom palette when joining 2

2019-02-13 22:31发布

问题:

I need to join 2 PNG images, with 16 color palette, keep colors number and order as originals.

Both PNGs use the same 16 color palette.

There is a way to create 4 bit indexed PNG with all colors, in exact order, even unused in each PNG?

Edit to be more clear:

I have 2 pictures. The first is "level-000.png":

It is identified as:

and you can see that palette is totally different from the initial one.

Images are here:

  • www.dropbox.com/s/jdftk03rizeqcub/scacchiera.png

The question is: is there a way to have ALWAYS this palette:

exactly with these 16 colors and in this order for each resluting PNG?

I have worked on this some more, and believe I can achieve what you want... basically, I allow ImageMagick to do the repaging and joining of the images exactly as you had it, but then I get ImageMagick to output a NetPBM file in Portable Any Map PNM format. I then encode the PNM format file into a PNG using a Perl encoder I wrote to match your very specific needs as regards the palette. So, for every truecolour 24-bit RGB pixel I read in from the PNM file, I compute which palette entry it is nearest to by doing the sum of the square errors, and then outputting a single palette index.

NetPBM is described here.

The PNM format is really simple to parse and that's why I chose it. It is described here.

So, your original command would be almost identical, except a PNM file is output on stdout and read into the Perl script pnmtopng which then makes the PNG file you wanted:

convert -page 312x144+0+0 scacchiera.png -page +168+0 \
   level-000.png -background black -layers flatten pnm:- |  ./pnmtopng > out.png

The Perl script is here:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Digest::CRC qw(crc32);
use IO::Compress::Deflate qw(deflate $DeflateError) ;

# Our beloved fixed palette
my @palette=(

I have tried some more and I can't see a way to do this with ImageMagick. You can extract the unique colours from scacchiera.png like this:

convert scacchiera.png -unique-colors -scale 1000 swatch.png

but there are only 2 colours in there, so that is no use:

You can also extract the colormap and make a CLUT like this:

convert xc:"#000000" xc:"#FFFFFF" xc:"#68372B" xc:"#70A4B2" \
        xc:"#6F3D86" xc:"#588D43" xc:"#352879" xc:"#B8C76F" \
        xc:"#6F4F25" xc:"#433900" xc:"#9A6759" xc:"#444444" \
        xc:"#6C6C6C" xc:"#9AD284" xc:"#6C5EB5" xc:"#959595" +append -scale 500 clut.png

which gives you this

You can then use that CLUT like this, but it doesn't help

convert -page 312x144+0+0 "scacchiera.png" -page +168+0      \
"level-000.png" -background black -layers flatten             \
-remap clut.png "joined.png"  

and you can also use it like this but that doesn't work either

convert -page 312x144+0+0 "scacchiera.png" -page +168+0   \
        "level-000.png" -background black -layers flatten \
        clut.png -clut "joined.png" 

You can also try to tell ImageMagick to preserve the colormap like this, but I'll leave you to guess whether that works :-(

convert -define png:preserve-colormap scacchiera.png ...
convert -define png:preserve-colormap=1 scacchiera.png png00:out.png
convert -define png:preserve-colormap=true scacchiera.png png00:out.png

So, I am stuck too :-)

Original Answer

You don't say how you want to join your images, nor provide any images, nor show what you have tried, so you may not get a good answer. This may be close though...

convert 1.png 2.png -append -remap 1.png result.png
