you want the original image recolored with the target palette?

[handrawn]

that original image you posted it is not a 16 color 4bit image - it is 24bit colour

if you posted up a 4bit image it may be that forum converted it and you can try reposting a zipped image

if you are happy to have the color palette reduced to 4bit in photoshop, I can do that before I recolor, but a 4bit image source would be better

Yes, 'cause here's conversion result:

I'm sorry for not true 4-bit images, these examples are taken from emulator.
I will post in few moments 4-bits.

thanks - not sure how long it will take....

[handrawn]

ok this has been changed - it only uses 8 of the 16 colors which is extra work actually probably not...

but overall this is a lot of work, but if this is ok then you know it can be done

Thank you very much!
Result is better, but not best... maybe it is for destination palette.

I contacted author of renderer and he got me full destination palette in color values:
{ 0, 0, 0}, /* Black */
{ 85, 85, 85}, /* Gray */
{ 0, 0, 170}, /* Blue */
{ 85, 85, 255}, /* Light Blue */
{ 0, 170, 0}, /* Green */
{ 85, 255, 85}, /* Light Green */
{ 0, 170, 170}, /* Cyan */
{ 85, 255, 255}, /* Light Cyan */
{170, 0, 0}, /* Red */
{255, 85, 85}, /* Light Red */
{170, 0, 170}, /* Magenta */
{255, 85, 255}, /* Light Magenta */
{170, 85, 0}, /* Brown */
{255, 255, 85}, /* Yellow */
{170, 170, 170}, /* Light Gray */
{255, 255, 255}, /* White */

If I can ask... Try you to adapt, or better give me instructions how to do it and what a software I need?

Thank you for all.
