Hi, I've been searching around but I can't find a way to work this particular magic. I'm hoping someone can help?
I want to reduce the colours of existing images to a limited set of about 20 or so specific colours. It is not a professional colour palette that I can install into ColorSync, it's just one I have defined. Is there any way to do this? Thanks!
Reduce an image to a custom colour palette?

Hi Strangechilde.
I came up against this a while back. As it was a fairly simple (four colours, I think), I used a combination of Posterize, Selection, and Color Fill to get the effect. If it had been more complex, I would probably have looked at either writing something by hand using processing.org (because thet is fairly simple and handles bitmaps well) or using a cross-stitch app (because using a well-defined, limited colour pallette is basically what they do).
Hope this helps.

I know nothing about coding, so I think processing.org might be a little out of my league, but using a cross-stitch app is a genius suggestion. Thanks! I'll look into those!
