Unfortunately it only fully offers the last item on my checklist.
It does allow you to reduce the color depth to 256 colors but it’s still a bit limited beyond that. For example, unless I’m mistaken, there’s no way to export, say, an animated image with an only 8 custom-picked colors and no dithering. Or to export an image with only 32 colors using an adaptive color reduction algorithm and noise-based dithering.
