No, that's not possible. Internally, Hollywood will always use the depth that is most efficient for drawing.

It's a shame to have used an external command (like imagemagik convert) rather than a hollywood function

Well, if you want to convert to 8-bit you could do the following trick: Use SaveBrush() to save the brush as a GIF image to a virtual file, then load it from this virtual file and voila, you have an 8-bit image now :)
