# Options:
Smaller image size

smaller palette size

lower dither - 50% usually looks as good as 100%, but with a saving of 10kb possible on even a small 50kb pic

less detailed pic - if you're using PS/IR, use the lossy options in the optimisation settings to strip out a little unnecessary detail.

less stuff changing - the echoes of "you smell" is cool-looking, but adds a couple of ks...

p.s. wooyay

# just wait till you get to mouse gestures
no need to reach over to f5 at all, just hold the right button and move the mouse up then down

# because this

is a massive 1.2K, and they don't come much simpler.
ah, it's 183K now, seems much more sensible. cutting the image dimensions to about 200-280 pixels makes the biggest difference to file size...
