Subject: RMagick Help

Hello,

I finally got RMagick working on my OS X machine and I'm trying to use 
it to accomplish some things that I was previously doing with 
ImageMagick through the %x mechanism. Specifically, I want to read in 
an image and spit out a list of individual rgb values. This seems easy 
enough:

@sourceimage=Image::read(@filename).first
@sourceimage.get_pixels(0, 0, @sourceimage.columns, @sourceimage.rows)

What I really want, though, is 8-bit color values (0-255) rather than 
the 16-bit values (0-65535) that get spit out. Does anyone know how to 
go about this? I feel like it must be possible, but I've been back and 
forth through the documentation and can't figure it out. Any help would 
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

miek
