Hi all...
I have a problem with GIFFER 1.0 and its files that I thought some
kind soul would be able to help me with...
I have Giffer and a number of pictures in GIFf format. I can unpack
them and display them fine on my macII, and I can also save them in
PICT or Startupscreen format. Great. BUT, when I display these pictures
using any other means, by using them as a startupscreen or by using
Image or other graphics/image processors (PixelPaint, for example,) They
show up fine BUT THEIR COLORS ARE ALL TOTALLY DIFFERENT! I presume this
is because the current palette is different from the one used by the
picture..however, Giffer manages to figure it out. Is there any way to
save this 'palette data' so that the pictures would appear on a
startupscreen with their own colors? or, is there a way to save the data
in the form of an Image 'palette', a PixelPaint palette or an
ATG-images CLUT? This question is being asked by a naive person, so
the answer may be glaringly obvious...please feel free to explain this
to me...basically I want to save the images as startupscreens with their
own color schemes, but any method of importing the picture to anywhere
I could edit it would be appreciated...Thanks!
JBZimmerman!
