Hi,
I'm creating (for the first time) an animation using a script.
When at the end I wanted to save the result as a .gif file (starting from the .xcf file on the display) i got a message saying that I cannot create a .gif starting from an RGB image because only indexed and grey input file are accepted.
In fact, entering in the script first a conversion of my .xcf file from RGB to Indexed then the save as .gif I got the .gif output without any problem.
Is it as such or is there a possibility to save (export) the .xcf file into a .gif file without passing thru the intermediate conversion from RGB to Indexed?
Does the export as .gif available online perform internally a similar conversion before creating the .gif?
Thanks
I not think that you will be able to convert an XCF file into a GIF file online, because I believe that any online conversion tool will not recognize XCF files.
Did you check that the Image Mode was set to Indexed before exporting as a GIF file?
By the way, what is the script that you're using to create an animated GIF image with?
