ok i'm working on this as a request...and like i have no idea how tomake it look good when i save it as a gif. Whats the best settings? Is there something I should do to make the quality better?  Also I wouldn't mind any critique on the sig design itself. ^^

Right now i saved it with256 colors instead of 128.

GIF 128 Dithered with 256 colors should be the best setting.

Did you intend to give that grainy effect on the still image or...? Was just wondering if there isn't a clearer image ^^ It's a pretty cool design though! Very Happy

No id on't want the grainy effect on the still part of the image... thats what happens when i save it as gif with 256 colors. Thats why i'm asking for help. xD I don't know how ot save a animated signature to keep the still part looking good.

Reduce the frames and you should have full HQ pictures never change these settings and you'll get a grainy gif and that's not good at all D:

Yeah... i don't get why there hasn't been some new format for higher quality animated images without a huge file size. ><

Hmm... that's odd. I never have that problem and I've had ones with like 50-60 frames.

This is my usual setting:

I think the problem is that you can only save with 256 colors and I always forget to keep that in mind when i'm making sigs/avatars that are also animated. -_- So the more colors it has the more distorted it'll be.
