Saving bitmaps in 16/256 color

[riki]

How do i save an bitmap image in 16 or 256 colors from a picturebox? Saveimage saves it in 24bit format unless the existing bitmap is already 16 colors.
But i want to save new bitmaps in 16 colors.

Their are some dll's on the net wich allow you to save(and load) it to a jpeg file, that should decrease the file size allot.
But I don't know the method for saving to a 16/256 color bmp in VB.
