Color problem

[Super Mutant]

I spent an hour making overseer look nice but he had to be in 256 Colors so i figured i'll just convert the pics when im done but no...after converting the pics it looked like a horde of monkies had taken a sh*t on them!! is there anyway to make overseer look nice in 256 color?

Honestly I don't think it can get any better. Considering the fact that you are reducing a 24 bit image to one that is only 8 bit, the end results looks good already!

Honestly I doubt anyone would complaint about the quality of your converted picture. It really looks great.

If you have access to a good repalettizing utility like DeBabelizer (it's expensive, sorry ) this kind of thing can be done without appreciable degradation of color quality. Even Photoshop is pretty awful at handling palette conversion, though, so I'm not sure there's an industrial-grade solution at a modmaker-grade price
