When importing images of other formats (such as BMP) which have more than 256 colors, the color count must be reduced to 256 or less. Color reduction options allow you to control how color reduction is made when you add images with more than 256 colors to your animation. In most cases, default options are just fine.
2. Color Reduction - Dithering mode: Allows to choose color reduction method used when importing images of other formats to your GIF animation.

Tools

1. Image Editor for Frame Editing: Here you can specify a custom external image editing program for advanced frame editing. By default, the Microsoft Paint is used.
