RE: Strange jpg behavior

Hi Nancy -

That is odd. It sounds like a possible bug in Frame, though I'm not 
aware of anything like this. Can you display the image properties (i.e. 
the size and scaling) in PSP after you save the graphic as GIF? That 
might help pin down whether the problem is in the file itself or in Frame.

You could try saving as PNG instead of GIF. PNG is a newer format. It 
was designed to do everything that GIF could do, but without the 
perceived licensing problems that GIF had at the time.

If you really want to stick with GIF you could also try doing the 
conversion using another tool, such as PAINT.NET or IrfanView. I'm sure 
you'd rather use the tool you already have, but it would be a good 
experiment. If Frame has the same problem with GIFs produced by other 
tools, you know it's a Frame problem. If GIFs saved by PAINT.NET work 
fine, it points the finger at PSP, but at least you have a workaround.

Cheers,
Stuart
