ImageRecompressionOptionsReduceColorComplexity Property

Enable color complexity reduction.

When enabled, the software analyzes images that utilize device color spaces (DeviceRGB, DeviceCMYK, or DeviceGray) as well as indexed images with a device color space as their base. If applicable, the images are converted according to the following criteria:
  • Images in DeviceRGB or DeviceCMYK color space where all pixels are gray will be converted to grayscale using the DeviceGray color space.
  • Images containing only black and white pixels will be converted to bitonal images.
  • Images where all pixels are of the same color will be downsampled to a single pixel.
Additionally, image masks and soft masks are optimized in the following ways:
  • Soft masks consisting only of black and white pixels will be converted into a standard mask.
  • Any (soft) mask that is completely opaque will be removed.
