GIF is an image format than can handle only an indexed colour pallet of 256 colours. So if you image used 8 bit per channel (true colour) you will experience some quality loss, and the image will look more grainy. Some software packages are quite good in optimising the pallet and use some dithering algorithms that make the effects stand out less. Ever thought of using PNG instead of GIF? It very often works just as well, and PNG is a much more capable format. HTH, Guy -- Guy K.
