I'm suprised at this thread. I use gif's and jpg's for my cross platform
stacks and the images always look as good on the PC as they do on the Mac
and SGI.
My gif's are saved as adaptive and I always use Photoshop. I found that
batching with Graphic Converter can create bad gif's, but anything from
Photoshop works just fine (except for progressive images, they get gummed up
in MC).
Hope that helps...
