Images must be 16 colour 4 bit bitmap for bootskins, so there is going to be colour loss.
I use IrfanView to decrease images to 16 colour, I have found it does a better job than PSP X, PS and Gimp.

If you are using a progress bar, it must be 16 colour 4 bit bitmap using colours of the 16 colour palette of the screen image.
