A trick I've found for bringing out detail in converted photos is to run 
the original image through something like the 'cartoonify' filter in 
GIMP.  This will draw dark lines and outlines where the detailed parts 
of the image would be.  This helps when the difference between two areas 
of the picture are in subtle shades of color that aren't well 
distinguished in a relatively low color display, while still allowing 
through what coloration there is in the picture.  Yes, it looks a little 
more cartoonish, but it will anyway with this kind of display.  But it 
does make it a little easier to see what the image is supposed to be.  
This also works well when quantizing images to the CoCo 3's regular 
16-color palette.
