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.
