OMG THANK GOODNESS DOCTOR WHO 4.13 IS ON TOMORROW ALREADY!!!!!!!!

*takes deep breath* Yeah I know a bit about how it ends, but still!!!! *distressed whimper*


I think I officially need a 10 icon... actually I would have had one for months already, if I could have gotten the animated gif down to whatever the max size is that LJ allows in userpics, without compromising the image quality too much! What do you people use to make animated gifs? It seems to me that Adobe ImageReady creates either good quality with huge file size or good file size with crappy quality. *eyeroll*

This is off topic, but did you read Lynn Flewelling's post concerning the new Nightrunner covers?

Luck in the Shadows will feature Duke Mardus

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I'll bet he looks NOTHING like I imagine him. *sigh*

I'm sorry Seregil and Alec won't be on the covers. Or will they be there as well?

I use the animation palette in Photoshop CS3 - it's a heck of a lot more flexible than imageready, but if the caps are high quality, you'll end up with a large file size either way. There are ways to minimise size - you can selectively delete frames that have very little variance between them, or you can isolate/lasso figures and dispense with the background to lower the pixel count. Desaturating some colours and selective sharpening helps too. I can try to do it for you, if you like.
