I was wondering if anyone else has ever had this happen…after finishing an animation, I sometimes export my work as separate image files into a folder on my desktop so I can drag n’ drop it into GifFun and create my own animated Gif files. What happens sometime is that the painted areas suddenly start changing colors…what I initially thought were solid colors suddely turn out to be transparent and/or different shades of the same, or I’ll see patches where it’s supposed to be solid etc. When I go back to my original drawings and check each one of of them individually, I never see anything amiss, and when I export 'em as a Quicktime movie they still seem okay, yet when I try and run them thru GifFun again the same thing that happened before happens again. Here’s a example of what I’m talking about:
This is what it looks like after I run it thru GifFun:

Now this is what it’s SUPPOSED to look like:

Anybody got any suggestions?
Hi,
I will take a extreme wild guess here:
could it be those colors are not in the limits of gif ? i mean gifs cannot display all the colors i think.
hmm… interesting to know whether that is what is happening.
Hmmmm…you know, I never thought of that as I’ve never really come across this problem before. The more simplified Gifs I’ve made were just fine, but I guess when you create something a bit more complex…something tells me that you are probably right. GifFun is’nt meant to handle it, I guess. Thanks for the heads-up! Oh, forgot to mention…I created this using my mouse as the drawing stylus as I don’t have a Wacom tablet yet… sure that should save some wear and tear on my hands!
I forgot to mention that it looks nice!
your work
By the way, what image format are you exporting from Toon boom?
Have you tried other formats?
Good luck with it and i am sure someone more knowledgeable can help you with the color problem.
