GIF & LZW compression

Post by tk1 »

I've red on the Wiki that Unisys had rights to patent for Gif format with LZW compression. I've also read that those patents had expired.

Is Image Magick able to manipulate GIFs with LZW compression by default?
cheers

It seems to work fine for me. A resize of an input gif with LZW compression has LZW compression on the output.
