No, not if you are using the system palette. What you can do to improve the
overall quality of a variety of images is to use Debabelizer to produce an
optimized palette from a number of 8/16/24bit picts. Debabelizer also
produces better quality 8bit picts from 24bit originals than does Photoshop
(even to system palette).
