GIFConverter’s multiple image feature supports GIF animation. The images are presented in the order that they appear on the screen, with deeply buried images showing up first, and the image in front of them showing up in order. GIFConverter will have better depth editing features in the future. For now, the best way to bring an image to the top is to cut and paste it.
Each image has associated with it a number of parameters that affect how it is handled. These are listed below.
To change these parameters:
The Disposal Method submenu on the Image menu allows you to specify one of the following four choices for when an image has had its time on the screen:
Choose the Delay... command on the Image menu to specify the amount of time the selected image(s) should appear on the screen, or None for no delay.
If the User Input item on the Image menu is checked, the displaying application is supposed to wait for the user to press a key or click a button before continuing.
Netscape Navigator extended the GIF specification with a way to add a loop count to an animation. To set this loop count, choose Netscape Loop Count... from the Image menu, then choose None, Infinite, or type in a number of loops.
To set the transparent colors of an image, click on the Color Tool, then click or drag on an image until you find the color you want to make transparent. Click on the Make Transparent Color button to make that the transparent color, or on Remove Transparency to remove the transparency.
To preview in a browser, select the Display in http Browser... command from the File menu. You can use the Set http Helper command to choose which browser to use.
