I seem to get the same output regardless of the command: convert.py convert.py --reduce 10.0

I am having this same issue. Did you ever figure out how to reduce the file size? Or has the creator gotten this issue solved?

I think I figured out the cause of this issue. I wasn't correctly using the reduce argument if the merge argument wasn't also used, and this should in theory be fixed now. @bmartin598 @jeyeager65 if you could give it another shot and let me know, that would be great.
