Debabelizer might be able to process 3200 color pics.  If not, perhaps
GIFConverter or GraphicConverter might do the job.  The latter two are
shareware and available on the net.  In any case, I distinctly remember
seeing "Apple IIgs 3200 color" as some option in a Mac program at one
time.  I said to myself, "Wow, really?"

However, you should keep in mind that there were many, many different
3200-color pic formats, and that you will probably have to get them in a
particular format on the GS before you can convert them to Mac format.

Trivia: There is a rare form of 3200-color pictures which mixes 320 mode
on some lines, and 640 mode on others.  The only example of such pictures
I can think of are in the Star Trek: The Next Generation HyperStudio
stack.  Since there was never a name for such creations, I called them
"mixed mode 3200 color pics."
