I am finally able to display GIFs in 3200 mode (after optimizing each
scanline down to 16 colors).
They do look really good - but as I expected they do not usually look
significantly better than GIFs using all 16 palettes (since you get up
to 256 colors anyway - and GIFs can have a max of 256 colors).
Sometimes they do - it depends on the color distribution.
I can save GIFs (and any other graphic) in any of the current 3200
modes now.
I really need to be able to convert some source of graphics with > 256
colors such as IFF, PICT2, etc. I have the specs for these - but no
graphics.
Would someone out there like to send me (via snail mail) a disk containing
some IFF graphics and/or some PICT2 graphics (preferably IFF) on a ProDOS
disk.
A source of various sized PCX (PC Paintbrush - for I*Ms) format graphics
would also be really good as I have the specs for those files as well.
Those that have helped me in the past know that I am thankful - you
will get your name in the software and the software to beta test if you
want it.
I will take the best offer I get in the next week.
Please arrange it with me before you send it off.
And DO NOT Email me any graphics - I cannot get them onto my GS from here.
John MacLean.
