I have written an image upload/resize tool that then saves out the image as
either a JPG or GIF.

I got the JPG save working nicely, using a codec and setting the compression
to 90%.

However, I can't seem to manipulate the GIF using the same parameter. All my
GIFs appear to be using a restricted pallette (reduced windows system?) and
they all come out incredibly grainy. Is there away to change the color
pallet the GIF uses when saving? Ideally, I'd like it to be an adaptive
pallet of colors found in the image itself (similiar to how Macromedia
Fireworks saves images).

Google/MSDN turn up lots of tutorials on changing JPG quality in .net, but I
haven't found a single one on GIFs yet...
