Then what is the correct method? I have installed the Image::Magick via the ppm (activestate, win32 perl)
I haven't install any other lib during ImageMagick installation. And it works great. But with no GIF images as i can see. PNG is a heavy format as far as i know. I want the smallest image type (with the less kb storage) And gif is the smallest files i know. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wiggins d Anconia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "John" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Perl Beginners" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 4:57 PM Subject: Re: cool project ideas > Please bottom post... > > > Unfortunately, Image::Magick doen't support gif compression. > > > > GIF compression or GIF images?
