I was really pleased with using Image Ready for the first time (see PSC Dashboard entry on the old mailbox contest). It was 256 color2, 799x599 pixels, about 8 or 9 frames and was so easy to save to the 124K upload size.

In Ur monkey gif U change nearly every pixel in any frame. The trick is to just change parts of the image (like U did in the dashboard entry). So that the gif just has to save the data from the changing parts.

An other possibility is to play with lossy, like I did in:

http://photoshopcontest.com/view-entry/75127/the-three-puppets.html

The lossy effect don't fits on every image - but for some it works quite well.

Think it's also a good example for small parts changing (eyes) to have more frames in smaller size. If u combine both U can have a realy small size (69 KB! on the three puppets) with lot's of frames.

cheers BL

so then I'm trying it again for making a Monkey Movie... what the heck. I've tried for 2 days and just can not get it to that 124K size. First it was color and about 16 frames, same 256 colors and pixel size... gif file size was around 1MB. Took out some colors, took out some frames. Still too big. Ok, so changed it to grayscale, took out a bunch of frames, made it a cute silent movie style... the lowest size I can get it to at the right pixel size is just under 500k. Why did it work so easy the first time and not so the next. Is there a trick to get the largest physical size, the best resolution and get the file size small?

So I couldn't upload this for an entry, here is my shorter, bw silent Monkey Movie....

you just have to go to that directory and download the monkeymovie.gif and then open it in your browser window or ImageReady, then it works.
