public int Distance { get; set; }
The Distance value can be a value between 0 and 255, where:
The default value is 8.
The Distance value will be used if the original image format is one of the following:
Png File:
Gif File:
Bmp File
If the image is a 16-bit, 24-bit, or 32-bit BMP image, the real number of colors used in the image is calculated and when possible the image is saved with lower bits per pixel. If the image is a 1-bit, 4-bit, or 8-bits per pixel BMP image, the Percent and Distance are used.
This example will optimize a Gif image file and then save it to a separate folder
