Try PICLAB which runs on the PC and is available on many BBS's and FTP hosts. I believe the latest version is 1.82 It crops, reads and writes GIF and other formats, including TARGA in 24 bit color. It resizes, smooths, changes brightness, contrast, and converts format. It works on the images using hard disk storage, not screen memory, so it handles all image sizes. It also will do color quantization from 24 bit color to 256 color, as well as dithering for improved shading. It can dither to permit 4 bit color EGA images, too.
