[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1694363, member: 234411"] The issue of GIF vs. PNG was initially a legal one over the copyright ownership of the data compression technique used (brief summary below from the same source I quoted in my last post) - but PNG improves on virtually all aspects of GIF, including the use of 24-bit color (vs. only 8-bit w/ GIF) - the only feature lost in PNG is animation, so a consideration if needed. Now as to [B]JaguarMac's[/B] desire to convert to GIF, the right software will be needed, e.g. Preview can opened a GIF image but not as an animated one - a static image is shown along w/ all of the other sequential images, and as [I]Ian[/I] stated, there is no GIF conversion option using either 'Save As' or 'Export' in Preview. Dave :) [/QUOTE]
