Re: [Gimp-user] Inaccurate Font Color After Export (psd -> gif)

2007-03-14 Thread ehchn1 

Hi all,

Saving to xcf first, then only as gif solved it.
The font color remains as it is.


Thanks for the help.

Yeah but RGB white should probably be preserved.  Try saving it as
.xcf first, and possibly changing the image mode to 'indexed' before
saving the GIF - maybe you can fine-tune the indexing.

PNG is a good replacemnt for GIF, btw - it will also be more accurate.

PS - if you want to send me the PSD off-list I will take a look.

Probably not.  GIF recognizes only 256 colors in total.  Some change
is to be expected.

[Gimp-user] Inaccurate Font Color After Export (psd -> gif)

2007-03-13 Thread ehchn1 

Hi,

I have a psd image button created with GIMP.
It has blue background and white font (R=255, G=255, B=255)

However, I need it in GIF.
After doing an export to GIF, the font color is a bit different from the
original.
It's now (R=247, G=253, B=255).

Is there anyway that I can preserve the original font color?
Please advise.


Thanks.
