- Color reduction in Datatypes isn't that good. Try freeing some of the pens in
- the picture (i.e. make them 0 0 0 and not used). Put the freed pens at the
- beginning of the palette. ADPro can do this for you, perhaps other programs
- too. I have a couple of 220 color images with the unused pens at the beginning
- of the palette - they display fine on an 8bit Workbench, and have all their
- colors intact.
