To render a full-color image as a GIF, the original image must be broken down into smaller regions having no more than 255 or 256 different colors. Since each image block can have its own local color table, a GIF file having many image blocks can be very large, limiting the usefulness of full-color GIFs.
Q. How many colors can you make transparent in a GIF file?
