Well, here's my dilemma. I decided to make an attempt at OOTS-Style artwork. I'm terrible with anything else even remotely resembling shapes, but I took on to it quick. This is my first attempt:

As you can tell, this is where my dilemma lies. Just getting it from its beautious (That SO should be a word), whole-colored form on Inkscape to a .gif format by saving it as a pdf, going to Adobe Acrobat Reader, snapshotting it to copy to clipboard, pasting to Microsoft Paint, and finally saving it as a .gif completely robbed it of its former... good-looking-ness. To the point that it looks like it has acne because of all the partially shaded squares that a lower resolution pwnt it with. Ok. So, I need some suggestions. How can I get a good resolution .pdf or .svg image into .gif? I tried IrfanView, but it doesn't read anything that I can save the image as on InkScape. Freeware or Shareware only, please. My wallet is already about to float away because of how light it is.
