Night Robin Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 When saving as a .GIF, my pictures look very grainy. Can someone explain to me why that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I can't explain it but you can slightly reduce the effect with GIMP if you positioned colour dithering when changing the mode to indexed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Robin Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 Thank you. I tried saving as .GIF in photoshop and didn't have the same problem as the other programs. Not sure what the difference is. Anyway, I appreciate the response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Computica Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 GIF format only allows a 256 color pallete. Advanced image editors use dithering techniques to reduce the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
