COMPRESSING NON TRANSPARENT GIF IMAGES

This screen shot below was compressed using the
'GIF Optimizer'
When it was first created it was over 400kb
now it is approximately 38kb

Once you have created your image
go to FILE >>>EXPORT >>> GIF Optimizer

THEN
Click on 'NONE' and press OK



The above image was reduced to 85% of it's original size
then compressed as above.

If you Click on the "Download Times' Tab
you will see how long approximately your image will
take to download with different speed modems.

 

I haven't gone into great detail here, especially in using the WIZARD, since I feel once you have mastered this, then you
can play around with the WIZARD yourself until you get the 'feel' of it and see the results different settings produce.
