The aim of GIMP is not only to be as good as Photoshop but become better than this program. So it would be fine to implement features that even commercial programs don't have. The common color quantization algorithms have many disadvantages, but there is a very new called Spatial Color Quantization (http://www-dbv.informatik.uni-bonn.de/quant/) that is better than all other methods. Is there anyone who has enough time to implement this very good algorithm. Martin
