You are right that some graphic tools don’t handle Gifs well. I have an older version of ThumbsPlus that doesn’t. I’ve used others over time too, that didn’t work well with them.
Take care.
BTW: I sometimes get too basic with my responses, but I do want the response to help others who see it to be able to pick up anywhere along the way, depending on their skills. This wasn’t just written to you, and I apologize if it looked like I thought your skills were non-existent. No insult was intended.
I didn’t take it that way at all. I don’t know very much about computers and the internet, relatively speaking, and your post was helpful.
