PhotoGIF™ 2.0 Released 8/8/96
• Creates the highest quality, smallest GIF files possible
• The most advanced color reduction capability available
• Complete support for multiple image GIF animation files
• Advanced, easy-to-use transparency tools
• Powerful preferences capability to speed work
In a sentence, PhotoGIF™ 2.0 is the ultimate power tool for GIF graphics and animations, nothing else comes close in capability or ease of use. Just take a look to see for yourself, that’s why we’ve got the demo version.
It is a demo version, though. It’s no longer fully functional shareware like previous versions of PhotoGIF™ were. File opening is fully functional, but saving is disabled. You’ll be able to see all the dialogs, give the color reduction a run around the block and kick the tires on the new transparency tools, but you won’t be able to save a GIF or GIF animation until you’ve registered.
Registering costs $45 US and payment can be made by Visa, Master Card, American Express, First Virtual, Check or Cash. A program called “Register” is included that you can use to generate an order form to send to Kagi Shareware, our payment processor. You’ll get a registration number back by return email or postcard if you forget to include your email address that will make PhotoGIF™ 2.0 fully functional. Upgrade pricing is available from the "Register" program for registered users of previous versions of PhotoGIF™
You may want to read the included text documentation before you give it a spin. There are big improvements over previous documentation. It’s longer, more thorough and better written now and does a lot to explain the multitude of capabilities in PhotoGIF™ 2.0 from editing modes for GIF animations to using the edge tool to remove halo effects from you transparent GIFs.
We never mind answering questions, whether you’re registered yet or not, but it would leave us a lot more time to work on new tools for you if you make sure to read the documentation to see if it answers your questions first.
The file "PhotoGIF™ 2.0 Text Docs" is a Microsoft Word plain text file. If you double click it and don't have Microsoft Word you'll get the standard 'could not open because application not found' alert, however it can be opened with any text editor than does not have a 32K document limit, hence the reason it is not a Teach Text file, from the open menu.
That’s about it. We hope you find PhotoGIF™ 2.0 an indispensable tool for web graphics. Please see our web site for information on our other tools for web graphics.
Thanks for trying PhotoGIF™ 2.0.
