I've spent the last few hours experimenting with different settings on the export file for GIF settings. No matter what I do: 256 colors; 128 colors, or 64 colors, bicubic, bilinear, original document pixel format, I still get noise and distortion in the saved image. Additionally, you can see the image isn't true white. Attempting to create a GIF with a transparent background ends with even worse results.  I see in the forums there are other posts about image quality but no actual solutions. I can't believe this is the best quality I can hope for.

This is difficult to answer without knowing what you are starting from. Could you upload the original image before exporting as a gif? Could you also describe the steps you applied before export? What are you expecting to see?

BTW, what are the to red arrows pointing to?

John,

Thank you for taking a look. I am starting with a basic new file, white background. I add some text, a solid line, and export it as a GIF. The end result has noise. Here is an enlargement You have to look closely, but there is noise all over this image: a row of white dots next to the 2nd I,  rows of white distortion under the H and the S, an overall cast over the image that stops just under the dots of the I. A slanted line running under the T. Original image is attached. Notice the overall grayish cast showing the edge of the image against white.
