I am trying to take a photo scanned in applescan and saved as a pict file ( (a pict2 file) and covert into a GIF file that retains all the original gray scale quality. All my programs, Superpaint 2.0, and several GIF converters, and other paint programs all seem to read the pict2 file in but strip out much of the quality resolution of the original gray scale scan. Is there any program that will allow me to manipulate this image and convert it for non mac machines that can read paint and GIF files without much or any loss of resolution??? I have GIFconvertor and it does the same as Superpaint 2.0. So far the only thing that I can even load the full pict2 file into is the original applescan program.
