Re: copyright flashing on saved images

Hi Sunil,

Actually this is a very poor way of handling this issue. Software is freely
available on the net that can take apart an animated GIF and extract each
individual cell. So you can see it would be very easy to extract the=
 original
image *if* there is at least 1 frame that did not contain an overlay.
