I have written an image upload/resize tool that then saves out the image as
either a JPG or GIF.
I got the JPG save working nicely, using a codec and setting the compression
to 90%.
However, I can't seem to manipulate the GIF using the same parameter. All my
GIFs appear to be using a restricted pallette (reduced windows system?) and
they all come out incredibly grainy. Is there away to change the color
pallet the GIF uses when saving? Ideally, I'd like it to be an adaptive
pallet of colors found in the image itself (similiar to how Macromedia
Fireworks saves images).
Google/MSDN turn up lots of tutorials on changing JPG quality in .net, but I
haven't found a single one on GIFs yet...

If I remember right you have to set the Palete manually. You can capture the
original palete of the image
and assign it to your new image after manipulation, but you may still have
problems if you're
adding new colors.
There's an MSDN article that talks in some detail about this here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...colorquant.asp
and there are number of related articles that talk about transparent GIFs
which deal with
this issue as well (custom paletes).

Thanks, Rick. That's EXACTLY what I need. It's a bit over my head, but I'll
see if I can get it working. Thanks!
(And, hopefully, in Whidbey, they'll update the GIF portion of GDI to use an
adaptive pallet by default instead of the incredibly outdated web-safe
pallet ;o)

The best parameters with everything is set to fine also gives me low quality
