BTW, I think I should add an option to select the output color format - whether it uses 24-bit non-paletted color or 8-bit paletted color. (it currently only outputs in 24-bit color)

No, .jpg and .gif reduce the quality of the image != a good idea. Stick with .bmp or .png.

Such a program should have support for palette conversions in my opinion. Even though they're not actually a part of the .grp editing, they are very related...

As for suggestions, maybe an option to outpout in formats different than BMP would work? This would save space, although the quality would be affected too...

It would be a waste to put it in any format other than 8bit bitmaps and GIFs. both GIFs and BMPs have compression options, so you could try adding that.

GIF does not reduce the quality, it just only has 8 bits per pixel (the perfect amount for GRPs). PNG i'm not sure about, but JPGs would be a bad idea.
