BlitzMax can't open Indexed Coloured images?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/BlitzMax can't open Indexed Coloured images?

Well whether or not Index Colored images are useless or not, I'm forced to used them.
And I'm still having some problems with them I'm afraid. :/
All images using Indexed Colours are always really dark, a lot darker than they should be.

I've made an example of this that you can get over at: http://www.wikifortio.com/784139/IndexColorTest.zip

You'll need Brucey's bah.freeimage module.
And don't tell me to just convert the BMP, because that's not an option for me. :P
