as requested![mail not working at the moment, apologies to the rest of the board for this block of text]
para 1: "This is the tutorial for optimising animations in abobe imageready." (it's animation shop. a quick check shows you made the abobe/adobe typo on the imageready page as well.)
2nd bulleted list: "flawour" (again, same typo on the IR page)
step 3: "fist pane"
step 3: include a picture of the panes? or maybe even screenshots of an optimised-too-far and an optimised-just-right
step 3: "Start with as small an image as possible and then decrease the compression until you feel the animation looks acceptable."
I use animation shop, and I'm honestly not certain what you mean by that sentence, sorry :( In other words does "image" mean frame-size, or animation-size-in-bytes; and "decrease the compression" is pretty ambiguous as well.
It might also help to add something to the effect that if the optimisation slider isn't producing a decent result, then there's the advanced settings which let you fiddle directly with the number of colours and whether error diffusion is enabled.
step 3: "larger than around 200Kb" I'd suggest just deleting that "around" word (and also on the pages for the other tools), otherwise, you'll end up with a load of twunts posting 400K files as those are "only a bit bigger than 300Kb which is certainly around 200Kb".
also: maybe add something on cropping (particulary if the animation has several background changes), and also fades (i.e. avoid like the plague).
