(man_gravy, Fri 27 Sep 2002, 21:19, archived)

gee, y'think?

I was planning on bringing the resolution up and redoing it at 800x600..

that wouldn't help

ah well..

.. worth a go.

yes bring the resolution up

but then make a smaller pic (280 pixels wide is the limit if you want a chance of going onthe front page) that can be a link to the big one.

tips for reducing gif size

reduce the physical size of the image (try about 200px wide). that's the biggest thing.

also, turn dither completely off, lower the number of colours until the quality goes too bad, and do the same increasing lossy till it gets too bad

cheers..

the main problem is trying to get the colours to display alright when working on a computer that can only show 256 at a time (aargh!)

will bring size down to 200ish as well, just need to redo text.

yeah...

and turn off real-time shadows and trilinier filtering.

or is that just quake?
