You and Prod (I hope you don't mind my mentioning it on the board). I did try to halt proceedings but it all happend too quickly for me to respond in time.
I also had a few offers accepting my original intention which was to do an Amazon/donation swop but you and Prod responded immediately.

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.

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)
(drbroonabloooobloobloo,
Thu 21 Aug 2008, 20:50,

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.
(Awesome Wellespetitioning for foetuses to be rebranded 'wombles',

50-60 frames is quite a lot.
(Quijibo Esq. BSc.May contain traces of nuts,

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.
(Awesome Wellespetitioning for foetuses to be rebranded 'wombles',
Thu 21 Aug 2008, 20:59,

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.

How can I chuck them in?
btw, I'm using Photoshop CS3, am planning on uploading the original high-quality one separately as a CFB, and if I chuck the lossy setting to 50% instead of 0%, it's still over 300k.
Edit: thanks proj, I'll have a go in a sec.
