Selective: focuses on keeping colors used over large, flat areas of the image (for example the red umbrella and the front of the wall in the kitty picture) and preserves web colors when they’re present.

#256 color palette converter software
Perceptive, selective and adaptive are the selection methods – this only matters if the image has more than 256 colors and the software has to pick which colors to keep and which to discard. Local (perceptive, selective, adaptive): this mode converts the image to a new palette, taking only the currently selected image/document into account.Here’s a demo of the uniform mode on a picture of a cool bengal cat. As the above modes, guess it had it’s use on older software/hardware and it’s just a keepsake from the old versions of Photoshop. In general, this mode is pretty limited and I’ve never used it. All possible colors available within this limitation are saved into the palette, which results with a 216 color image at most. Uniform: in this mode, the value of each channel is divided into six – this means, that R, G or B channel can equal only to 1/6, 2/6, 5/6 etc.The use of those is limited, and I’m pretty sure those are just kept for the legacy reasons. System (MacOs), System (Windows), Web: those three are preset palettes, two system palettes of the 256 color modes of both Windows and Mac, and 216 colors which are the same between the two (web palette).A new palette is created, and all colors present in the image fit inside, none of them are altered or discarded. Exact: this option is only available when there’s exactly 256, or less than colors in the image.The options available here are as follows: Palette: This is where you can chose a palette to convert to, or chose what method the Photoshop should use to create one.
