Does anyone know of a good shareware GIF editor? I would like to take GIF files and change them. Any ideas? Thanks, Bo Slaughter

The paint program that comes with the Grasp package can handle these, allthough this is not shareware. I think it is called Pictor. Personally, I use a conversion program called VPIC, that will convert from almost anything to almost anything. I convert to PC Paintbrush format (.pcx). -- +=====================+========================+=============================+ | Finn Markmanrud | finn@nec.mojo.com | "It can't happen here." | | (508) 264 8668 | Boxboro, MA | F.Z. | +=====================+========================+=============================+

I am in need of a good GIF file editor that will allow me to edit a GIF file regardless of the amount of memory I have installed on my video card. I have several GIF files that are (by default size) too large to display on my machine, but they have acres of border that could be chopped off and the image be none the worse for wear. I'd rather it run on either a 386 (I've got 8M of RAM and a Paradise Plus VGA card with 256K memory) or a Sun workstation (I've only got access to a black and white machine, so it'd have to keep the colors in memory while the editing was taking place). If anyone has a good program, or source to one, or even an inkling as to whether such a thing exists, I'd appreciate your help. Please respond via e-mail, as I may miss the post here. Thanks! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- cab3@engr.uark.edu - Chad A.

Try PICLAB which runs on the PC and is available on many BBS's and FTP hosts. I believe the latest version is 1.82 It crops, reads and writes GIF and other formats, including TARGA in 24 bit color. It resizes, smooths, changes brightness, contrast, and converts format. It works on the images using hard disk storage, not screen memory, so it handles all image sizes. It also will do color quantization from 24 bit color to 256 color, as well as dithering for improved shading. It can dither to permit 4 bit color EGA images, too.
