ImageJ uses the ij.plugin.GifWriter class to save images in GIF format
and stacks as animated GIFs. To save the current image or stack in GIF
format use IJ.saveAs("gif", path). The Batch Converter plugin
(
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/batch-converter.html) saves a
folder of images in any format supported by ImageJ's File>Open command
in TIFF, 8-bit TIFF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, PGM, BMP, FITS, Text Image, ZIP or
Raw format.
