[Can open gifs, but can't save some of them after editing]

When I convert the floorplans into gifs, I have the option of converting at various dpi settings (150x150, 200x200, 300x300, 400x400, etc.) I was using 400x400 on that image I attached. Is that causing my problems? Is there a minimum pixel size?

Regards,

[Can open gifs, but can't save some of them after editing]

Hi there,

I'm a long-time user of Paint.net, but this is my first question here. I use Paint.net to mark-up and edit floorplans that I've converted from CAD into gif format. The resulting black-and-while gif files are typically 100KB to 200KB. Sometimes, especially when the files are 150KB or larger, I can open and edit the gif with Paint.net, but then I can't save them. When I try to save in Paint.net, I get an "(error)" in the "Preview, file size" portion of the save window.

However, if I use Gimp or IrfanView with these same images, I can edit and save them successfully -- but I find both of those programs exceedingly difficult to use, so I only use them when I can't use Paint.net. Any ideas? I did a search of the forums, and also looked at the FAQ, but nothing jumped out. I'm using the latest version, 3.36.

I've attached a sample floorplan, which is 213KB that has this problem with Paint.net.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Steve
