Recently, i started doing animated gif's on my computer & I'm absolutely addicted now! But i was hoping for a bit of advice! When i save my more detailed ones, i find that the file size can be huge! Does anyone have any advice on how to make them smaller, without taking out any of the frames? I use photoshop to construct them

thanx in advance

You could probably talk to UncleAdam about it.....I know he's been playing with animation recently.

Would you believe there's all the info you need in the Photoshop manual.. I did mine in that program. It's all to do with 'optimizing' for the web. Keep it small and have a ball!

PS. If you can't get on with the manual try searching google for 'animated gifs' I came across some sites that told you how to go on in a more simplified way. 🙂

Also see my profile pic.
