Macromedia and Apple report that GIF images will appear distorted with Dreamweaver 3, Dreamweaver 4, and Dreamweaver UltraDev when these applications are running under Mac OS 9.1. These images are not affected within browsers, however.

Macromedia suggests this workaround until it can come up with a more acceptable solution:

1. Open the GIF image in Fireworks, and go to Window > Optimize.

2. Change the color table drop-down menu from its current setting to some other setting, such as Web 216.

3. Go to File > Export.

4. Click the Save button to export the image again with the new setting.
