RyuinfinityPDN Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 PDN should have a feature that removes the bars from GIFs when you resave them as PNGs without otherwise blurring the image. If that would be impossible, tell me. Quote -- Make an Explosion in Space-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVoid Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I'm not sure you can do that..Because its already lost some pixels in saving, it can't regain them. Quote [My DeviantART] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Precisely. Paint.NET might be able to extrapolate (read: guess) what they're supposed to be, but restoring lost data is next to impossible. Better to save in a lossless image format.

RyuinfinityPDN Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 I intended it for GIFs on Wikipedia. That's what I meant, extrapolate them. Quote -- Make an Explosion in Space-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew D Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I intended it for GIFs on Wikipedia. That's what I meant, extrapolate them. extrapolation is the process of constructing new data points outside a discrete set of known data points. It is similar to the process of interpolation, which constructs new points between known points, but its results are often less meaningful, and are subject to greater uncertainty. Basically, you want to be able to re-build them, right? Just keep a copy of the .gif and .png. It makes more sense that Rick finding a way to implement this into the .gif dialog stuff: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyuinfinityPDN Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 I mean, what if I see a GIF on the net and want to make it better? Quote -- Make an Explosion in Space-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 You can't very well... Because its already lost some pixels in saving, it can't regain them. You could try Surface Blur or Median, but that may ruin it, especially if the graphic is small. GIFs already have a low quality so you may just have to accept the image as is. Or redraw it.

Crazy Man Dan Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Tell you what - Post a link to two or three of the GIFs you need to restore, and I'll try and work a little magic. If I come up with a repeatable method, I'll post it here.

RyuinfinityPDN Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Sorry. I can't find any images now, but the recommendation of surface blur worked. P.S, sometimes when you render a gradient between white and a light shade of gray, there are bars not even Gaussian blur fixes! They are always there! Is this a problem with my monitor?
