When you realize that every color image is just 768 monochrome images in a colorful trenchcoat...

Someday, I'd like to develop the technical chops to make this a reality.

(Hint after the ellipsis borg cube...)

Hint: Every color image is 3 grayscale images in a color trenchcoat, every grayscale image is 256 monochrome images in a grayscale trenchcoat.

256-bit colour depth?

3 grayscale images from each color, 256 possible gray levels per grayscale image.

Of course, you could just translate it to 24 monochrome images per color image, but it would be visually more appealing to represent the 256 possible gray levels as separate images, like when you are doing a threshold filter in GIMP, and move the slider around.

why is this not a long toot? is it characters not (new)lines based?

P.S., yes the .bmp.xz actually saved space over PNG:

-rw-r--r--  1 rld wheel 4,442 Jan  8 17:52 foo.png

It's a lot slower, though (used a rather large image to test):

Certainly, it's calculated by dividing the coefficient of the total characters by the sinewave of Pi times by the gravitational pull of Mars.

Jokes aside, I'm not 100% sure, I could have a look at the codebase and see if I can work it out.

Hopefully I sounded like I knew what I was talking about. You just need to say it with confidence and people will believe.

Depending on the unique number of colors, yes.

I really want to turn this into a program that can input an image of any type (or at least PNG), and spit out some kind of video format (maybe just animated GIF, or use some ancient lossless video codec from the 90s).

I think that would look proper trippy.

YES, kind of! But that's only 24 monochrome images, which, while more efficient in terms of storage, wouldn't be as visually appealing.

The thought behind this was seeing what happens when you gradually move the Threshold slider in GIMP from one extreme to another. It's a pretty neat effect.
