Seting up Bootskin Graphics

Hello,
I am having problems converting bootskin graphics to 16-colors.
I have successfully created a couple bootskins that show up in Stardocks Bootskin program, I know how to adjust the progress bar X and Y coordinates to position it where I want it.
The first bootskin graphic I created was created in Adobe Photoshop CS2 from an existing .jpg I have on my computer,
I tried converting it but it doesn’t display properly when the computer reboots, although I can see it as the computer reboots.
The second was created with Stardocks SkinStudio, bootskin utility with the same display issues.
When I load either of the two bootskins I created, and then reboot my computer to test if they work, the images load, they look like photograph negatives taken with a camera. Its like all of the dark parts of the image shows up and a shade of grayscale or white. And the progress bar cannot be seen.
When I used skinstudio to create my 16-color graphic, I thought there was no other color correction needed, I’m think I might be wrong about that.
I don’t know what else to do to them to make them show up correctly.
If any one knows how to convert .jpg images into a 16-color graphic using Corel PhotoPaint10 it would be very helpful. I do have Adobe Photoshop CS2 as well; I am just better at using Corel products.
Thanks
