For 'unique colors', I'd not ever thought about that metric; I'll have
to see if my existing imaging tools support it, or go get irfanview to
give it a try that way.
Irfanview?
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Irfanview is another ripoff. It uses FOSS libraries exclusively
for all of its functionality. It's just another Winblows wrapper
around open source tools.
But, of course, the Winblows crowd, being the stupefied dumb fucks
that they are, could not discern yet another brazen theft from the
FOSS community.
Check out the following which concerns my fave video editor

Fucking leachers should be burned at the stake.
Have you considered getting anger management treatment?
Nah, Feeb opted for the frontal lobotomy treatment instead.
In any event, he tried to rail about one tool which happened to have
been mentioned for generating a metric that I've never really ever been
particularly interested in, so that's pretty much an "I don't care".
OTOH, Feeb did snip my post's portion which had an equally large image:

The "Huge!" part got me looking at a Kodachrome slide scan I'd done:
size: 1,208,386,573 bytes (1.21 GB on disk)
width: 11551
height: 17433

Which when combined with what it went on to also say:

FYI, reason for my file's size is that its at 16 bits/channel ... from
way back when it was scanned in 2004. Didn't turn out to be necessary,
IMO, but it shows what COTS imaging capabilities existed 20 years ago.

Which showed that he's ~20 years behind technologically.
Plus there's an earlier post of mine which he knew better than to touch
shows us that he's way out of his depth on the topic too:

Plus when it comes to artistic understanding of images, as John Shaw
illustrated in his books, there is no one "correct" interpretation.
As such, even derivatives are free to take on their own tangents, which
is what I chose to illustrate.
Plus if one wants to emphasize the gnarly crinkled texture, simply crank
up the contrast, sharpen, or use an unsharp mask (BTDT).
Plus all have been very available as GUI tools with preview functions
such that one can tweak to one's heart content prior to committing the
CPU (& human) time to rendering the full image, which results in a more
productive workflow than Feeb's scripting from a more immediate artist
feedback loop.

TL;DR: just YA lame Feeb troll attempt, but at least in a modestly less
boring subject than his "I finally got my PC to boot this month" bit.
