Reducing Bytes ?

[Wishydoo]

How do you do it? What kind of program do you use? I found a gif I would like to use as an avatar. It is the size of an avatar, but when I try to use it, the message says it is 4000 bytes and too large. It is animated. Can the bytes be reduced without affecting the integrity of the art?

Depends.
I use Macromedia Fireworks and Photoshop most of the time. If you provide a link, I can grab it tomorrow and make it within specs if you want.

Thanks Mr. StormAlong, that would be great! I really appreciate it.
Does it need to be uploaded to my own site or can I give you the address I have for it?
I still can't upload to my site yet...grrr.

There it is.

I'll try it right now. I'm on the "Resorts" chat turned "Laundry" chat.

This one needed more than to reduce the colors. I had to also resize. Hope you like it.

I do like it. Looks good to me! Did you take out that snowy T.V. screen thing?
I wasn't crazy about that part, so THANK YOU for that also!!

I think you might want to check with Doc, one of our DVC Board moderators, I know he's a Dentist and if he can't help you, I'm sure he could recommend someone who could.

Oh yeah, love the new Avatar!
