Can someone take this 271KB .gif and make it 100KB or less? Would that be possible?

Anyone? I need an avatar. I know how to resize the .gif file, but I can't make the damn thing smaller in filesize.

mulder is using it as an av on cheebus's board, dunno' how big his is.

I used to use ulead gif animator for this kind of thing, but I don't have it now, sorry.
If you get a hold of it what you do is reduce the colours, make it as few as possible (not many to begin with on that, but there may be a couple of greytones you can lose, and maybe variations in the red)

And after that, you'll have to reduce the framesize, if it isn't enough, and maybe strip it of any dots and stuff you don't need, manually in photoshop. And maybe you can drop a few frames, and adjust the timing so it stilll keeps the same pace.

Dunno' if that's any use, but that's what I'd try.

Hmmm... maybe I'll give Ulead Gif Animator a shot.

Cheebus? :unsure:

It's 92 kb but a bit shorter now.

Maybe adjusting the timing on that might make it good enough @the old speed?

and also, if the white surfaces are multicoloured you can shave a few kilobytes off there, gurahl. Some gifs have loads of diffent variations in what looks like fields with a single colour.

You need photoshop for that, though.

nvm, I see rip is happy with that one :D

Hmmm... a bit shorter, and he bangs his head much much faster... looks funny, still pretty good though. I'll try and somehow try and shorten it without removing too much. I guess I could look around for Ulead Gif Animator.

Until then, THANKS. :)

EDIT: Typo.

'twas a rush job with Jasc Animation Shop 3.
I used the automated cull function instead of doing it frame by frame, which is probably why the "banging his head" part is too fast.

[Rip The Jacker]

I actually have Jasc Animation Shop 3, and I tried to remove half the frames with it. I did it frame by frame, the entire time thinking to myself, "man there has to be an easier way to do this." I didn't know about the cull function up until now, it'll save me a lot of time I the future, thanks.

I did remove half frame by frame before, but I wasn't happy with the result. But this one is fine, thanks again. :)

I was bored so here is the full (smaller size) version if you want it: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/8714/meh4qm26cm.gif

BTW, Macromedia Fireworks has a good compression tool, thats all I used on that, (but to get full I had to make it smaller). You just put in what target size you want and it does it for you, and usually has good results.
