Can you optimize this gif?

I can only get this gif to be as large as you see it under my name...any bigger and it's too large to post as an avatar. Can you make it 64x64 pixels? If so, please tell me how? I had to make it 60x45 and I'm using ImageReady...thanks! I'm sure there's a way, my lack of experience tells me I'm missing something.

Mike

Well no idea what the limit is but this is a bit smaller



If it needs to be smaller just ask.

Eddy

Are you trying to actually enlarge it, or to reduce the file size?When I open it in image ready it shows as 64 x 64. If you are trying to reduce the existing file size you can reduce it further by setting no dither, 32 colors, and turning off interlaced.

BTW Limits on avatars are 64 pixels square and under 10 K file size

I'm trying to keep it at 64x64 pixels, but make the file size small enough to be able to post as an avatar...isn't the limit 10k?

I'm still learning about layers and imaging with Photoshop and ImageReady...I'm not really sure what I'm doing yet.
