- GIFSaver.tiox V1.0
-
- The 'I/O extension' module GIFSaver.tiox enhances TIFFanyII to allow saving
- of GIF files via the "Save To..."-panel. It has been written to simplify the
- creation of images for WorldWidWeb pages, thus supporting interlaced-GIFs and
- transparency.
-
- The extension features...
- - Automatic conversion of the image's alpha-channel (if present) into GIF89
- transparency information.
- - An improved median-cut algorithm for selecting a good color palette.
- - Writing of interlaced and non-interlaced GIF images.
- - Floyd-Steinberg dithering.
- - A NetScape-Mode, that uses the same palette as the NetScape Navigator uses
- on 8-bit systems.
-
- This module requires TIFFany II V2.30 or later.
-
-
- Installation
- After unzip'ing and untar'ing, just copy the GIFSaver.tiox bundle into
- your ~/Library/TIFFany/Modules or ~/LocalLibrary/TIFFany/Modules folder.
- The option 'Save GIF' will appear in the 'Save To...'-panel after relaunching
- TIFFanyII.

- Have fun,
