thanks for the help. I found some software from Ulead that might do the trick but its not as PS friendly as imageready heh. I really dont have another 600 bucks right now, and cs3 will not save a gif animation sequence that im aware of. heres hoping Ulead does the trick.

I just wish these networking sites would release more info on what they use for gif compression. Biggest issues i have lately are peoples avatars being shrunk down (which is normal..but the pallet changes and many get what i call Death by strawberry pixels..its annoying but so far nothing fixes it..shrugs)

anyhow ty for the tips.
