- Regarding: How to save GIFs in ImageFX?...

- You do have to render the image to 256 or less colours first.

-
- It does retain the image size. It displays the image in the screen
- mode you choose. I also think that if you save it as an ILBM the
- screen mode is saved with the file as the image's 'preferred' display.
- I'm not au fait with the ins and outs of the ILBM/IFF format so I'm
- not sure that it does this. Can anybody confirm this or not.
-
- One thing though, the screenmode is not saved with GIFs and the image
- will retain it's correct size.

-
- I've also experienced this problem. Anybody got any suggestions as to
- why it happens? Do later versions of PPaint do the same?
-
- I got around this by saving as an ILBM brush and converting with
- GfxCon.
