Animated GIF Options 1 Transparent Background — This option will make the back- ground transparent. 2 Auto Crop — This feature optimizes the size of each frame and the document. The Auto Crop feature will create the minimum size needed to accommodate all of the objects in the document. 3 Interlaced — The image will load into a browser a little bit at a time. Activating this feature creates the effect of improving an image over a slow connection. 4 Anti-aliasing — Objects from the Canvas document will be rendered with an overall softened effect. 5 Individual Palette Per Frame — If selected, each GIF frame will contain its own palette. This will create a larger GIF image; however, this setting is suggested if you are creating complex and colorful animations. If this option is not checked, then all frames will have a common palette. The color palette maximum is 256 col- ors. 6 Erase Previous Frame — Each frame will be erased and the area will be restored to the background before the next frame is dis- played during playback. 7 Optimize frames — This feature minimizes the size of a file that will be created. We recommend this setting if you are working with colorful GIFs or pictures. The Optimize frame setting has no effect on simple graphics (like rectangles, ovals etc.). 8 Differential frames — This option searches for the smallest frame possible in the set that contains all of the changes from a pre- vious frame. After the search, it creates a new rectangle which becomes the new frame. Note: If the option “Erase Previous Frame” is checked, then this particular option will be unavailable. For more information on using animated GIF options, see “Creating animated GIFs” on page 14.203. 9 Infinite Loop — Activating this option will cause your anima- tion to run (loop) continuously. Note: You may specify the number of times that your animation will run. To do this, simply enter the number of times to “loop” your animation in the Times (10 ) window. The Animated GIF Options dialog box appears upon choosing the Animated GIF file format from the Save As menu. 10 9 8 7 6 5 * 3 2 1
