sorry if it's been asked before...i looked throught the archive, and tried a search, but just couldn't find an answer that help me 100% (though some helped a little)

anyhow...

is there a way to optimize the "quality" of an animated .gif so that you can get under file restraints for webpages?

in PhotoShop CS, there's a nice little slider that helps to optimize file size. but does ImageReady CS have the same feature?

i'd like to get a small 50x50 animated icon that is 38kb down to 4kb. the original is 46kb, and even under the edit>prferences>optimization i can't get the file size low enough. not even at 4-up. unfortunately i have to upload the file for an icon, rather than link it from my ftp...hence the dilema.

here's the icon:

anyhelp is greatly appreciated!

The only way you reduce gif file-size is to reduce either the dimensions,
the number of colours or, in the case of an animated gif the number of
frames - none of which you would want to have happen automatically.

appreciate the info LW...

suppose because of the "cluc" there's too much info...

what i'll end up doing is seeing if i can save the pictures i have in photoshop "optimized" as low as i can reasonably get them, and then go from there, by transfering the optimized layers in imageready...

i'm just lazy and didn't want to have to make the .gif over again.
