Does anybody know how to convert pallette of TBitmap loaded from file
to :
 - 16 or 256 colors
 -  grayscale levels ?
  I'm using LoadFromFile method.
   I want to be able to load all formats of bmp file,  but I need to do some
conversion, cause I operate on images with those numbers of colors only.
Oh and one more thing. I'm writing in C++ (Builder), but I suppose in Delphi
definition of class Graphics::TBitmap is similiar, so maybe someone would
know how to do it.

                    Thanks
