GIF technical notes
• Corel programs import versions 87A and 89A of the GIF file format, but export only to version 89A. Version 87A supports basic features
and interlacing. The newer version, 89A, includes all features found in 87A plus the ability to use transparent colors and to include
comments and other data from the image file.
• Corel programs support the following color depths when importing animated GIF files: black and white (1-bit), 16 colors, grayscale (8-
bit), and 256 color paletted (8-bit).
