Custom Color Depth
Editor > Image tab > Modify group > Color Effects > Color Depth.
Customize the color resolution, dithering and palette of an image after capture.
Use a unique, Optimized palette to get the best possible image quality.
To verify a bitmap has a unique palette, open an image from a 8 bits per pixel (256 colors) or fewer file. By default,
SnagIt loads the palette stored in the file and relates it to the bitmap in memory. Or, let SnagIt make an optimized
palette for the image by decreasing a 24-bit image (16 million colors) to 8 bits per pixel (256 colors). Images with
optimized palettes may exhibit some palette shift.
OPTION
DESCRIPTION
Colors
The options available range from Monochrome (1-bit) to True Color (32-bit).
Color Order
Specify the Color Order: Red-Green-Blue or Blue-Green-Red.
Option only available with 16-bit or higher color, and only from Editor.
Dither Method
(Option only available if Colors is
set to 256 or fewer colors.)
Use the Dither Method list box options to make the image look smoother when
an image’s color resolution is decreased.

Sierra, Stevenson Arch, Jarvis, Ordered, and Clustered.
Palette

Save the image using a palette optimized for this image.
Identity
Save the image using the Windows system palette. Use this selection if the image
contains Windows screen colors.
