Author Exporting as gif with Photoshop and Illustrator

Hi all,

can anybody explain me why exporting .ai file as GIF with Photoshop creates
an image with much more high quality that with Illustrator (in both case I
used File -> Save for web -> GIF 128 dithered default setting).



Thanks a lot.

Cheers,

Edo

Can you upload some examples? I don't find your statement to be true in my
usage, but I never use default seltting and rarely save dithered GIFs.

The Photoshop GIF is antialiased. The Illustrator GIF is not.

If you trun on the option to antialias the GIF you save from
Illustrator, you will get the same results. In my copy of Illustrator
CS, the Save for Web command antialiases by default.
