I need to convert a 24 bit BMP to an 8 bit BMP. I can load the 24 bit BMP
into a picturebox and save it (if the display colour depth is set to 256
colours (8 bit)).
Fine.
Well not really the 8 bit image only uses about 64 colours and is thus a
bit crap!
So, is there a better way.
Dying to hear an idea or two.

Many thanks
