- Reducing colors from 32 to 24 means you have 8 palette-entries left for
- colors you may use for yourself, e.g. your GUI or whatever.
- IPR can reduce your image from 32 to 24 or whatever number of colors
- you like, leaving a number of empty palette-entries, which you may
- modify to whatever you wish. IPR also allows you to sort the palette,
- so that the unused palette-entries will be placed in front or in the
- back of the palette. Check out aminet, there is a demo of it in
- gfx/conv.
