    <p>I'm trying to programmatically convert a bitmap RGB image to 1-bit Grayscale (b/w) bitmap image using PHP (version: 5.2.13) and ImageMagick (version: 6.7.8-7-Q16). The input image is bitmap and is generated by means of the ImageMagick function:</p> <pre><code>bool Imagick::setFormat ( string $format ) </code></pre> <p>where $format = 'bmp2'</p> <p>The following code used to work in the past (older version of ImageMagick... don't remember which one), but it's not working anymore in the current environment:</p> <pre><code>private function monochrome() { if (isset($this-&gt;image)) { try { // reduce image colors to 2 (black and white) $this-&gt;image-&gt;quantizeImage(2, Imagick::COLORSPACE_GRAY, 5, false, true); // reduce image depth to 1 bit per pixel $this-&gt;image-&gt;setImageDepth(1); $this-&gt;image-&gt;setImageChannelDepth(Imagick::CHANNEL_ALL, 1); // set image type to monochrome (2 colors: black and white only) $this-&gt;image-&gt;setImageType(Imagick::IMGTYPE_BILEVEL); } catch (ImagickException $ie) { throw $ie; } } else { throw new Exception("No image object"); } } </code></pre> <p>The problem is that the image produced is still in the RGB color space.</p> <p>I also tried:</p> <pre><code>$this-&gt;image-&gt;setImageColorSpace(Imagick::COLORSPACE_GRAY); </code></pre> <p>but the result does not change.</p> <p>My goal is to generate the smallest possible, black and white, bitmap image for a signature capture application. I know there are better image formats than bitmap, but the generated image has to be compatible with the old Access 97. That is why 'bmp2' is the choice for the image format.</p> <p>Any ideas? Thanks!</p>

    1. COThe solution suggested by @carlos-c-soto works perfectly. I just had to replace: quantizeImage(2, Imagick::COLORSPACE_GRAY, 5, false, true) with: posterizeimage(2, false)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
