Galen are you ill?
Almost all Graal2001 screenshot have more
than 256 colors, you can see that by
looking at the gralats/bombs/arrows count
at the top of the screenshots converted to gif
(its most of the time white instead of gray shaded
like in Graal)
PNGs are always smaller than gif,
you have much better compression and
the color table can be smaller, so also saving
file size for smaller images.
When using the gif2mng program included in
Graal to convert an animated gif to mng then
it is sometimes bigger than the original gif
because Graal doesn't support all the
features of png/mng. In mng you can
have animated JPEGs, special effects
and file reducing methods.
For things like screenshots you will
always get better results with png/mng than
using gif/jpeg because the quality is
100% and the file size is smaller.
Saying that pngs sucks is really stupid. If
you don't work with real life images
(landscapes, faces etc.) then png/mng
always beats gif/jpeg |
