Ludwig Von Cookie Koopa Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) So I need to downgrade, to another image viewer. I was reading, dew to the legal of GIF, many companies releasedalternative versions of GIF. The original GIF was lost, to public use. I want to know if that is true, since I need to make real files and not GIF that is unreadable by X_machine ( late eighties, earlier ninties, Apple, etc ). I see there is also variations of the TIFF format that is ( was ) sappose to be close to raw. For which there is like many RAW formats now. Like needle in a hay stack, by reading the discriptions in the file names. Edited September 29, 2009 by Ludwig Von Cookie Koopa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osRe Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) There are no different variants of GIF (other than the two standard ones: 87 and 89, 89 being used for animation). There was a patent a few years ago, now-expired, but that doesn't mean programs created "alternative" GIFs, just that some avoided GIF support or were leaning toward PNG.

osRe Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 87 came before 89, and both were in theory available before 1990. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_Interchange_Format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
