I just finished an animation that took all day and when enlarging the file and exporting it the color palette changed. Is there any way I could revert this change or is saving an image/gif with the color changes permanent?
hi, there. if i undertand correctly, that’s a commong issue people have with gif.
just to make sure: always save your sprites as aseprite file.
similarly, always work at 1:1 and only set scale of final work in export dialog as needed. if you need to scale someting inside aseprite, make sure you are not introducing new colours through anti-aliasing.
which is important, because common implementations of gif format hold only one colour (index) for transparency and maximum of total 256 colours. if you use transparency, layer blending modes, blur or just a lot of colours overall, those colours will get squeezed to fit gif format limits and colours will change, animations can flicker and so on.
you could theoretically export a sequnce of full colour pngs and convert that into apng (or even video). but that format is not as supported as animated gif is.
