Using Multiple Palettes in the Same WAD

[pyrax]

When I create a PLAYPAL file, if I click on Generate Palettes it gives me a total of 14 palettes instead of just the 1. However when I import a .png file and convert it to "Doom Gfx Paletted" it only uses the first one. What are these other palettes used for and can I choose which one of them to index for each textures and sprite? For example is it possible to have one texture use palette[3] and another use palette[7] in the same WAD?

The palette is used to color -everything- on the screen, including the effects that tint the screen like power-ups or when the screen flashes red when you take damage, that's why Slade generates all those palettes and as far as I know you can't freely select from them
