animated gif sizing incorrectly

[Infolink]

Hi all,

Got a weird image problem
On one site I'm doing I have a page with an animated gif image

This should be 148 w x 62 h but is in fact being crushed to 80x80
when on the page.
I'm at a bit of a loss as to why, I've tried different templates and the result is the same each time.
If I do a properties | save on the image then view it elsewhere it is coming out correctly sized.

The page is;

www.campoldqueen.com/acatalog/Charms_in_Bags.html

the source around it actually says;
<IMG SRC="guestan.gif" ALT="charm desc" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=80 WIDTH=80 >

The only thing I can think of is that catalog is wrongly getting the image size from the file.

Hi Phil,

I don't know why the image is being compressed, however, I took it into Photoshop and re-saved it as guestan1.gif and used that in the catalog and it displayed at the correct size.

You could try that if you have an image editor that allows you to save animated gifs. If not, then I could send you the image I saved.

Hi Tracey,

I did that already, both in photoshop and photoimpact and it was fine.

It's more that catalog wasn't interpreting the getimagesize() function correctly to establish the height and width parameters when it was constructing / compiling the page.

Could you try the image on your inhouse copy and see it it does the same thing there please when published.

I'll try a diferent animation later and see if it does it to that.

I'm using 6.1.2.0.0.0 DDVA

Regards,

Phil

I already tried this and it compressed the image, however, after I had taken it into Photoshop and resaved it, the image was then displayed fine on my generated page.
