Hello,
I don't quite get it : you are not cropping anything here.

Whatever, I'm no expert but I'd try to add

Code: Select all

-out png -clevel 9  
to specify the output file format (png) and the compression level.

Code: Select all

 -overwrite -out png -clevel 9  -ratio -resize 1500 1200 -rflag decr 
It's giving me an image with the correct colors.
If you have different images from different sources, I'd add also something to deal with transparency, alpha chanel, metadata and so on to make smaller files.

The GUI software XnConvert, with it's Actions Preview, can provide an easy way to test different settings, but testing with 1.95 I haven't managed to obtain the desired result, no breakup of the image though.

In my case, the problem was solved by adding a parameter -rtype quick

Code: Select all

nconvert -overwrite -resize 1500 1200 -ratio -rflag decr -rtype quick image.png
