7.10.1.14 File/GIF

Here you can define, if you want to save your GIF images interlaced. You should save them interlaced, if you want to use them in the web, because interlaced images can be loaded and displayed stepwise.

You also can control, how often an animated GIF is shown. A value of 0 means endless repetition.

You can setup PhotoLine to reduce layer images to one layer (Normal Image) or to save as Animated GIF or to Ask how to save.

The GIF-format does only support images with up to 256 different colors. Therefore you can assign a predefined reduce scheme (see chapter 5.7.2). You have also the choice to turn on Ask. In this case on saving automatically the Color-Reduce dialog is shown, if the image contains more than 256 colors. Because of that it is usually not necessary to reduce the colors manually before saving.
