# Slow summer's afternoon
plus a mate's car that he wanted some pics of =



Clicky image for 1.4MB of giffy-goodness

(I tried really hard to get a decent shot of the engine but it's got more tupperware under the hood than a 1970's kitchen)

# This only really works on the click for big. And it's pretty cool then.
I was just about to trot out my 'read the faq', but I'm glad I clicked it first.
If I knew anything about it, I'd suggest way of optimising your gif so it would fit here :)

# Cheers :) The biggy works better
but I couldn't optimise it much more without losing too much shiny :(

(and faq-wise, the posted image is sub-100k and under 400px wide :)

ed: on second thoughts 1080 is a bit too much.

# Nicely done :)
cheers.

# I made it smaller and added 10% lossy.
It's just playing about with settings until you get something you're happy with.
(I helped save b3ta! Mu Dinofiddler, Sun 12 Aug 2012, 2:24, archived)
# Yup.
Original size and quality was for owner's laptop screen.
Brain's running a bit too slowly to remember to make a smaller version :(

# lossy?
I only have photo-paint for making GIFs. It never asks me about lossy.
What is it?
(I helped save b3ta! 4Q just lurking, Sun 12 Aug 2012, 2:28, archived)
# Reduction in quality
for smaller file-sizes.
Like adjusting JPG compression, but a bit more effective.

# It's a sort of addy noisy stuff

^100% lossy

# Nice
maybe I'm missing something, but I just can't find a way of optimising GIFs without making them look awful
(I helped save b3ta! 4Q just lurking, Sun 12 Aug 2012, 2:39, archived)
# Er, reducing the colour palette can work, bit of loss - not too much.
Smaller image dimensions - less fewer frames
(I helped save b3ta! Mu Dinofiddler, Sun 12 Aug 2012, 2:43, archived)
# yeah, I get the fewer frames, smaller, etc
but I sometimes see GIFs on here that look great and are still small and I just can't seem to get the same results.

# you can make the gif small,
but when you post it add some html magic *pointy arrow left* img width="300" src="YOUR_FILE_URL"

# You forgot *pointy arrow right*
(I helped save b3ta! Mu Dinofiddler, Sun 12 Aug 2012, 3:29, archived)
# *pointy arrow right* appears after the src file code anyway

# Less pixels changing between frames also helps.
(I helped save b3ta! Mu Dinofiddler, Sun 12 Aug 2012, 3:12, archived)
# Hmm
Less Fewer

# Indeedy.
One of the aluminium XK ones with 4.2 on the back.
Probably as well I wasn't allowed to take it out for a spin and put 12 points on the licence really...

though I'd say they are probably wide enough already :-P

I don't drive one. Honest!

# I'm happier driving round in a rollerskate
than an armchair, even if the armchair is considerably quick.

# I had a Cadillac
for a couple of years; an old huge one and believe me in the UK that was no joke trying to park it. Was bloody good fun though.
