Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during the function call.
Grayscale – 9…16 bpp.
This function is used to downshift a chosen range of 8 bits (out of a maximum of 16) to the 256 pixel values that can be shown on an 8-bit display device. For example, if you set downshift to 8, and the image has 16 bpp, bits 8-15 will be downshifted and used alone as the pixel values.
This function will directly alter the pixel data.
