[Solved] Error trying to make gif

[This is solved a few lectures later]

Error: “Cannot export RGB color image: Convert to indexed color or grayscale first”

Does anyone know the quick way to fix this error? This is the first time I’ve had this error.

You are using a bitmap with a specific color set.
This is common for a GIF image, which has a maximum reduced pallet of 256 colors. But this can be also a 16 colors palet. Everything to reduce the byte size of the image.

In your image software, you need to set the image color byte range from 256 to RGB (miljons).

What you are doing (probably), is having a GIF image, using 256 colors and save it as a .PNG. or .JPG. which is a format for miljons of colors.
You go from a 8bit image color pallet to a 24bit image color pallet as image type.
