Default indexed color spaces

When I try to edit an image in an indexed color space (indexed CMYK, indexed RGB, indexed Grayscale) using the Acrobat touch up tool, Photoshop can't open it, giving an unsupported color space error. Is there a way to use Pitstop to change the color space to a format editable in Photoshop? Currently I am rasterizing the entire page in Photoshop (which then has no issue dealing with the indexed color space), cropping the image I want and reinserting it back into the PDF. I can change the color mode of the image in Pitstop Inspector but it retains the indexed format which prevents Photoshop from opening it using the touch up tool.

My understanding is the indexed color space is a result of compression.
