Hi everyone,If you are storing lots of images its worth using

of space and wont degrade your hard won image like Jpeg does.
I would assume that LZW is a sort of runlength encoding or otherwise

Hi,
Not exactly. GIF only allows 256 colours or 256 shades of grey. It uses
(I think) LZW compression internally so it is lossless as far as editing
is concerned but if you save a 24bit image to a GIF you *WILL* lose colour
data. GIFs are significantly smaller because you are going from 3

GF's "lossless" setting will compress to a file ~50% ... but it takes
forever to encode and decode (~1 minute per Mb per 300MhzCPU).
