exporting image to RGB565 (65K colours)

Hi,

how can I convert and export an image from default GIMP rgb888 (no alpha) to rgb565 (16-bit image)? I want to save it as .h or .c or even png. But I cannot find a plug-in for it nor information on how to do it with the GIMP (2.2).

any idea?

thanks, B.

someone else will have to handle the jpeg parts, but if you open the Select File Type (By Extension) you will see a listing of the formats gimp is able to save as. .c (C source code) and .h (C source code header) files are there. i think that gimp can only save in the non alpha jpeg format, however.

There's no way of doing this with GIMP. Actually I even wonder why you would want to do such a thing since all windowing systems and graphics libraries I am aware of do handle this transparently. But if you really need it, it would certainly be a trivial hack.
