    I made a hybrid utility "fi_c44".

    It is с44 which uses FreeImage.sf.net library to open the graphical files.

    fi_c44 converts any FreeImage-supported graphical file (more than 30 - TIF, BMP, JPEG-2000, etc.) DIRECTLY to DjVu (DjVuPhoto).

    fi_c44 - is a console Win32-only utility. It requires FreeImage.dll for its functioning.

    I also introduced a new option:

    -bsf n -- select an int background subsampling factor (2..12)"

    It is analoguous to csepdjvu. It is needed if you plan to reuse later the BG44 chunk from the resulting DjVu.

    Download fi_c44 binary (sourcecode + FreeImage.dll included) here:

    P.S. Thanks to Leon Bottou and Andrew Zhezherun who helped me greatly to create this utility.

    Thanks monday? this is very very useful for the non imagemagick people :-)

    The `Only 24-bit color or 8-bit greyscale images are supported` message is
    from freeimage or from c44?

    It is my limitation and it was made just for simplicity.

    There is no problem to modify fi_c44 to make it work with 8-bit color images.
