Rather than exact or adaptive, I choose "custom" and then specify a 
Web-safe palette. I don't know why I do this next step, other than 
superstition, but I proceed to convert back to RGB and then back to 
indexed, this time choosing "exact" colors. In my mind, that basically 
takes the image down to 216 Web-safe colors and then throws out those 
that aren't used. Make sense?
