The other day I had said that the GIF images that I had seen which were created by ADPro looked terrible compared to those done by a public domain X11 based converter called xv. Well someone who was more knowledgeable in the use of ADPro demonstrated the conversion to both PCX and GIF from my 24bit IFF. The results were vastly superior to those I had previously seen. While the images were still not quite as good as those from xv, they were better than ones derived from ppmquant (from the pbmplus toolset). The demo certainly changed my opinion of ADPro for GIF creation (ADPro had always looked so good for everything else). I just wanted to set the record straight. %~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~% % ` ' Mark Thompson CONCURRENT COMPUTER % % --==* RADIANT *==-- mark@westford.ccur.com Principal Graphics % % ' Image ` ...!uunet!masscomp!mark Hardware Architect % % Productions (508)392-2480 (603)424-1829 & General Nuisance % % % ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
