I need to transfer GIF images on a Macintosh, and possibly
translate them into one or more of the typical Macintosh
formats.
I'm looking for Macintosh applications able to perform one
or more of the following tasks:

-   reading a GIF image and showing it on any Macintosh monitor,
	either color or gray scale or B/W.

-   processing a GIF image and save it in the same format.

-   translating a GIF image into one or more among PICT, EPSF or
	TIFF formats, maintaining the same quality (number of colors
	or gray levels, resolution, and so on) of the original image.

I was told that PhotoShop deals with this tasks quite well, but
I'm looking for a lower cost application. Any information about
specialized utilities, freeware or shareware is welcome.

Thanks in advance.
