Your file has an alpha channel (for transparency) you can verify that with

Gimp also shows that 0707cddlogo.png has an alpha channel.

I am sorry, not that picture

By optimisation PngOut reduces c PNG32 to PNG24

Your last file has an alpha channel that's fully opaque. ImageMagick doesn't 'throw this away' automatically. You could do it manually by adding "-alpha off" (if you're sure that you don't need the alpha channel anymore). But it's better to leave these operations to the PNG optimizing tools.

I should find out before optimisation it PNG32 or PNG24
To apply

I'm not sure if I understood you.
You should try Fred's suggestion if you want to know whether your file has an alpha channel:

fmw42 wrote:convert image.png -format "%A" info:

Will return True or False


see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/escape.php

You have correctly understood me, here my picture
http://img2.immage.de/0807960alleyesonapple.png
ImageMagick asserts that a picture with an alpha a transparency, but actually it not so.

When I open that file in Gimp, I see an alpha channel.

Has thought up, it is possible through optipng without parametres.
Now it is possible to carry out my idea.
All Thanks

Will admit I has applied such function It is possible but whether to turn the given action
