[comp.sys.amiga.graphics] GIF -> Dynamic HiRes

andrewsr@u2.rutgers.edu (Rich Andrews) (04/06/91)

Hello All!

I just downloaded Shazam from Fish 449.  The Dynamic HiRes pictures
are quite good.  The documentation mentions that the pictures were
actually converted from PD GIFs.  Where can I get a conversion
program?

Does TADPro support Dynamic HiRes?  

Thanks in advance,
-Rich

Well, what you can do is get a copy of giftorgb which will convert to a
21 bit (?) format that can be read by DigiView 4.0., which can then write
Dynamic HiRes.  Of course this requires you to own the DigiView software.
It's the best method I've found for converting GIFs.

Yes, ADPRO (not TADPRO - which is a young frog that still has a tail) does
fully support ``Dynamic''  modes including  on  the  A3000 (with Kickstart
36.207 or later).
