2. GIF format supports up to 8 bits per pixel for each image
  
3.  Colour Palette - GIF uses 24-Bit RGB colour space, which gives around 256 Colours to choose from. 

4. GIF can not support a CMYK profile in turn meaning GIF's are in a RGB format

5.  Animation Support - Although GIF was originally created as a more efficient file format than the older RLE format, it became more popular thanks to it gaining the ability to support multi-frame images, or animations if you will. 

6. Usage - GIFs are used by all kinds of people and on all kinds of websites, whether it be a preview of a video, a preview of a product, a small animated art piece, as emoticons, etc. 

7. Suitability - GIFs are relatively small in terms of file size, meaning that they are well suited for usage online, as they are capable of being loaded quickly. ]]> 2019-01-15 09:27:57 UTC https://padlet.com/adam007243/t3ck3vzeau47/wish/320664999 oliver_mchaleinfo https://padlet.com/adam007243/t3ck3vzeau47/wish/320665086 OLLY MCHALE
What browsers support the GIF Format
Pretty much all browsers support the GIF format, like Firefox, Safari and Chrome.

Can GIFs have transparent backgrounds
 No, the GIF format does not support alpha-channel transparency like PNG does. You can only select one out of the 256 possible colors in a GIF to be transparent.

What is Interlacing
Interlaced video is a technique for doubling the perceived frame rate of a video display without consuming extra bandwidth. The interlaced signal contains two fields of a video frame captured at two different times
Interlacing does work on GIF formats.

What client software needs to be installed to view a GIF
There is no client software that needs to be installed.

GIF File size
A GIF file size can usually be any size but tends to be around 1MB or smaller.

Animated GIF and creation
A GIF is an animated image and they are very easy to create as multiple software's supports its use and creation.

What GIF format supports animation

It can supported up to 8 bits of colour depth, with a single image to reference its own palette of up to 256 different colours chosen from the 24 RGB space.

What does this mean in terms of image quality?

The image quality simply means level of accuracy in which different imaging systems capture, process, store, compress. In conclusion of this the picture's expression and how it shown will determined if a image quality is good or bad. 

What is dithering?

Dithering is the process of using two colours to simulate the shade of a third colour by putting the dots of two different colours close together.

What does dithering do to the file compression of a GIF?

It can reduce smooth colour gradients into discernible bands of colour. In which, at lower  bit-depths, colour quantization, making  these colour transition zones to minimize banding. The compression algorithms used in GIF are  dictionary or substitution-style schemes.

How would you keep a GIF animation file size small?

You reduce the dimension of the image, as well as reducing the frame of a image.]]> 2019-01-15 09:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/adam007243/t3ck3vzeau47/wish/320665275 cur17001210 https://padlet.com/adam007243/t3ck3vzeau47/wish/320667126  Steve Wilhite
