Decrease the size of a gif?
Wednesday, June 28, 2006 9:17 AM
I just finally got back photoshop on my computer after not having it for a few months. Needless to say I have remade my sig 5 times in the past two days.
My latest version is going to be attatched.

I decided to play around with animating it but the result was a huge file.... maybe not ginormous or anything but almost 10x what the "ban warranting" limit would be.



Is there any way to decrease the quality of a gif to bring down the fil size without starting over from scratch?

No need to send the images if you know how to edit a gif, then again I don't like photoshop at all

Here ya go, still 570k tho... but its as small as I can get without losing detail.

Maybe photoshop is different, but 'gimp' displays all frames/timing and info from just saving his gif O.ô not directed at you or meant aggresively.

Resizing makes it lose quality, decreasing the frame count or timing between frames makes it seem too choppy..its a double edged sword with trying to fit a size limit. Looking at it now, i notice in one frame duration towards the end, the needle jumps off its spindle a little.
