I always get horrible quality with my gifs on my animated signatures and things like this. Does anyone have any links to anything that will help increase the quality of my animated sigs? Or does anyone know witch settings to use? Thanks.

You may never receive as good of a quality with GIFs as you will with JPGs, or the good-quality PNGs. Though, i hear that there is an animated PNG. But, unfortunately, not many programs support it.

Which software do you use to create you gifs. I use Photoshop and export to Image ready which does a good job

The animated png was called Ming but it was never released, no one supported it. =( I bet it wouldve been really cool, but not to worry, svg is on its way and it looks like its going to be really cool. Check some examples here: http://www.croczilla.com/svg/samples/

Check some examples here: http://www.croczilla.com/svg/samples/ SVG format seems cool. According to the samples you've provided, I can see that it takes some time to process the vectors before displaying it. I'm surprise with this format because it isn't really an image file. Rather, it's just an image information file to tell the browser, or the image viewer, to render the image according to the information file. I'm somewhat surprise to see that is can be viewed as text. Also, I've tried zoom in and it doesn't get pixilated. I guess this technology of imaging will be the future. However, it will take alot of processing time to render those images on the spot. A webpage with full of svg graphics might be terrible. |

you need to change your optimize settings. and to test it before saving there is a optimized tab that will show you exactly what the saved product will look like.
I'll make a quick tut on it now. |

And flash files are 2-3mb in size, and most forums don't allow them. NEVER use flash for sigs. For an example of how flash is supposed to be used, check out (with a DSL,Cable, or BrodBand modem.) www.2advanced.com |
