Hi, I'm having a problem reading in GIF files that are sent to me by my clients. When I read it into both PPage & ImageMaster the there is no image, only a mixed up mass of pixels (it sorta looks like an old VCR in Fastforward mode with horizontal lines.) I have read the files into PeeCees and the applications are able to read the files ok. When I save as TIF or some other format and port back to the Amiga I am able to read the files ok. I have tried to recreate the problem by converting Windoze BMPs to GIFs and then porting to the Amiga but that seems to work OK. Can anyone think why I might be having problems reading these files even though they are apparently ok? Are there different versions of the GIF format? I am able to load files from CIS ok.
