MS Paint saving as GIF

[Magic_Kitty]

If you have a Microsoft Paint that can save as GIF, this lil' trick will help. Usally when you save as GIF in MS Paint the colour gets all messed up. Well if you dont want the colour messed up do this:

1.) Before you draw anything, save it as a GIF.
By doing that you can save it as GIF without the colour being messed up!

I hope that will help all you guys out there!

You don't have to use paint... also, not every computer can save the same filetypes, I had one that could only save as bitmaps

I didnt know that either thanks. But also remember we're not supposed to use .gifs any more for graal so put it in the png2mng converter before using it on graal.

You sure about that for windows XP? Usually it depends on the system hardwear, not softwear. Anyway, saving as a gif first won't make much of a difference, the colors will look normal but come out wrong.

filetypes are based on software... hardware has nothing to do with it

I had a Windows 98 once that could do .gif,.jpg,.bmp, and something else.

Probably .art.
I use MSPaint for all my graphics, but i use a program called IrfanView for all converting. It's quite nice...i think the site is www.irfanview.com
