Re: QUESTION: converting to GIFs

I tried posting this before without luck:

I like Paint Shop Pro from Jasc (http://www.jasc.com). It can easily do
the conversion you are looking to do, as well as many others. I have used
Paint Shop Pro with MS Image Composer and GIF Animator and have been very
pleased with the results.

Subject: QUESTION: converting to GIFs

Hello.
SORRY FOR SENDING THIS AGAIN. I MADE AN ERROR IN THE SUBJECT LINE IN THE
PREVIOUS POSTING.
Can anyone suggest an application that will convert JPEGs and TIFs to
GIFs?  I used Microsofts Image Composer (beta) to save a JPEG file as a
GIF so I could use it with Microsoft GIF Animator (beta), but the
resulting GIF image was less than perfect. Some of picture looked like
it'd been 'highlighted', and some colours had been replaced with others.
Very bizarre. Also, the only other app I have that *could* do the job,
Corel PhotoPaint, can open existing GIFs, but other image formats cannot
be re-saved as GIFs (as far as I can tell).
Alternately, are there any GIF animation programs that will allow me to
import a picture with a different file extension, and *then* save it as a
GIF? It'd be nice if any of the programs mentioned could be downloaded
from the Internet, or are available as beta programs.
Please reply off list, if you feel this message is slightly off topic.
Thanks in advance!
