Hi,
I was wonder if someone could help me with this. I am trying to reduce the
file size of gif images. I thought that if I reduced the size of the image
(the number of pixels) that it would also reduce its file size.
This is what have I done:
agnus: {18} gifrsize -s 0.8 Picture1.gif > Picture1_scale.gif
agnus: {19} ll
-rw-r--r-- 1 azick wheel 10635 May 4 10:48 Picture1.gif
-rw-r--r-- 1 azick wheel 24570 May 13 14:22 Picture1_scale.gif
The image that I reduced is now has a file size of over twice the size of
the original. Does anyone know why, and what I can do to make it smaller?
Thanks,
Al
