--- Comment #2 from Brion Vibber <[email protected]> --- Note the general problem with APNG->GIF is that you may have to apply two lossy transformations: * color quantization to an 8-bit palette, probably with dithering * 8 or 16-bit alpha channel -> 1-bit alpha channel Both of these will potentially leave a GIF version looking like crap, and most people will get the crappy version. :( I'd kinda prefer to phase out animated GIF in favor of proper video formats, editable slideshows of static images, or animated SVG... introducing APNG basically just gives us a slightly better animated GIF exclusively for Firefox users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
