Strange Photoshop problem with GIF
This one has me baffled. I created an image which only used 'safe' colours. Black and white (no gradients or anything fancy) on a pure gray background (RGB #999999).
Then export >> GIF standard and when the GIF is loaded back into Photoshop ... the gray is now RGB #9b9b9b so that when it is placed on a larger background of #999999 you can see (if you have 20/20 vision) lines around the image that was RGB #999999 before it was exported as a GIF.
Anyone got any ideas why that happens??

You probably didnt give your image enough colors when you exported the gif, so the program put two similars greys together.
