Load: Yes

Save: Yes

Autodetect: Yes

NOTE: Due to licencing restrictions the GIF loader supplied with previous versions of Photogenics has been removed from the product.

However, an updated version of the GIF loader, which now supports saving GIF images, has been released into the public domain as freely distributable software, and a copy of this file is included on the Photogenics CD-ROM for your convenience.

This updated version, installed as one of the 'public domain modules' you selected when installing this program, can generate interlaced and/or Gif89 transparency images. To create a transparent GIF, you need to select the area you wish to be transparent by painting over it. All pixels in your image that are painted over (but NOT fixed) are regarded as transparent. This allows fine precise control over the creation of transparent GIF images, rather than relying on chosing one particular colour for your transparent colour (as in other packages).
