I understand there is a .gif viewer for the Apple ][ is that correct? I've also heard it's pretty slow?
It's not exactly fast, but it's not painfully slow either.
I know the Apple ][ won't display images perfectly, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips, Photoshop action, etc. My guess for best practices would be to use a modern photo editor to scale down the image, reduce the number of colors, convert to gif, etc.
I've played with this a bit... I found that it doesn't translate colours very well, but b/w stuff is fine. Best results if you resize/crop your artwork to 280 x 192 px and then try different dither settings when saving as gif.
][ Gif can convert giff to HGR too. ] SIMON D WILLIAMS
