# coo, thanks
That's better response than I got the first time!

How can I make an animation much smaller? I am still having trouble after upping lossyness to 100%, using scan lines and resizing to 280pix. It's about 270k now, and looks terrible.

# post a still or the crappy version (maybe shortened version)

# Yeah, I was going to do that anyway.
But it loses it's meaning and niceness without the animation.

# have you tried deleting every second frame and doubling the duration of each frame?
or making it a little smaller?
using less colours?
(you should only have to use about 20% lossy, otherwise it just looks horrible)

# Deleting every 2nd frame would make it much worse,
it's only about 50-60 frames as is, and a little jumpy as such. And there aren't many colours in it either. Creating animations in CS3 is not fun. :( Thanks though.

# 50-60 frames is quite a lot.

# It's ok
It would have helped if I'd been using the right file, and if Photoshop hadn't decided to undo the image resize. Immense stupidity = fail.

# that's your problem then
as DTH says, maybe post a shorter version, with a link to the larger file size version.

with 50-60 frames, there little chance of getting the file size down if the gif is 280 pix.

If you want it to be 280, then make it about, say, 240 pix, then you can blow it up using html by putting width=280 after the url...

The quickest way to reduce filesize is to remove frames really, but it does mean you lose a bit of smoothness.

# Thanks
But as you can see, I've been a div. I've got a nice 260k ish file now, and I'll link to the original.
