Having trouble opening a gif file that someone sent me in an email. Tried a couple different things but nothing opened it.
Unless it is an animated GIF, GIMP should open and edit it just fine. No need to buy Photoshop...most of the people who one photoshop could do everything they do using gimp.
Have you installed any picture viewer? I use Windows picture and fax viewer. It's ok for me to view gif or animated gif.
here is a ist of softwares that can open GIF files Microsoft Windows Photo Gallery Viewer Adobe Photoshop CS4 Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 The Logo Creator 5 ACDSee Photo Manager 2009 Nuance PaperPort 12 Nuance OmniPage Professional 17 Roxio Creator 2010 Other picture viewer or Web browser
I would use a tin opener.. something Sainsburys in Oldham doesn't sell has anybody else seen this site? .. very useful if you just want to tweak one. http://www.gifworks.com/ Personally I use imagemagick (have to have it as part of the ghostscript things for my printer) plenty of in depth info and guides to editing and making animated images here. http://personal.cscs.ch/~mvalle/postprocessing/ImageTools.html
