dreamingkat answered Monday May 23 2005, 9:25 pm: I'm guessing you use animated GIFs for aim, right?
With a gif, it's more important to use a smaller pallet (number of colors) than to make an uncomplicated picture (unlike a jpg). I have never used animation shop 3, but you should be able to either choose an option like "generate an optimal palette" or specifically select smaller pallets. You may be able to pick and choose what colors you want in the pallet. You definitely don't need anything larger than the "web pallet" (256 colors), and it's probably better if you limit your animated gif to less than 16 colors.
