It also supports animations and allows a separate palette of up to 256 colors for each frame. These palette limitations make the GIF format less suitable for reproducing color photographs and other images with continuous color, but it is well-suited for simpler images such as graphics or logos with solid areas of color.

For example a figure of a hot air balloon which includes 64 colours has 9,121 bytes but the same image with dithering has the size of 10,052 bytes. Therefore it reduces how much it can be compressed. ]]> 2017-01-10 11:18:56 UTC https://padlet.com/morgy911/ojfn9kkc3f28/wish/146208862 morgy911 https://padlet.com/morgy911/ojfn9kkc3f28/wish/146208974 This limitation seemed reasonable when GIF was developed because few people could afford the hardware to display more colors simultaneously. Simple graphics, line drawings, cartoons, and grey-scale photographs typically need fewer than 256 colors but now when everyone has the hardware to display more colurs simultaneously, gif are anable to create detailed images because of there limited 256 colour palette.

Because of the limited number of colours GIFs cannot be Opaque they are either transparent or not.]]> 2017-01-10 11:20:08 UTC https://padlet.com/morgy911/ojfn9kkc3f28/wish/146209083 emma_riordanxo https://padlet.com/morgy911/ojfn9kkc3f28/wish/146212561 89a supports animation
