+%description
+%{name} converts 24/32-bit RGBA PNG images to 8-bit palette with
+alpha channel preserved. Such images are compatible with all modern web
+browsers and a compatibility setting is available to help transparency
+degrade well in Internet Explorer 6. Quantized files are often 40-70
+percent smaller than their 24/32-bit version. %{name} uses the
+median cut algorithm.
