The image will still only have 16 distinct colours in it though. I think the only advantage of reducing colour depth again would be to 'compact' the palette. But if you save it in a raw format you'll just get raw RGB values anyway so there'll still be the same amount of work to do at the SAM end. I don't know of a way to save just a raw uncompressed chunk of 'palette indexed' image data. (Best I can think of is to save as .PCX format, which is simple and paletted. I have a .PCX to sam convertor (for SAM!) around here somewhere ...)
