http://www.mediafire.com/?djp1r2s1fr15y6m ^Also if I did something wrong in the project then let me know .. I selected the first frame and then selected an area, right click => Copy Via Layer so the layer was created. This is where I get stuck .. I don't know where to place to layer, and what to do from here on. Cause doing only this sure ain't reducing the file size. Ps. Can I have borderless version of your current avatar at AS so I can use it on messenger ? I'm too lazy to make one since you already did :P

You did nothing wrong. The reason you don't see a difference is because you selected pixels I already uniformed. Quote:
I'm going to .gif the entire episode just so you know *looks at 60+ folders of frames* tehehe~ Probably post a few at a time in the thread since I don't have time to do all in one go.

In the .psd I sent you, it's not the one you gave me but a different one that I did on my own so it's not optimized. Did I add the layer correctly there ? Cause it ain't reducing the file size, and I don't know what to do. All I did was add the layer there, so if there's something else I need to do .. well, it's not done.
And also since Mugi's head moves on top of the background, I would need to add another layer and select different area... and I dont know how to go about this. Miniguide ? D:

The pixels look like they were uniform before. So basically you were really lucky with the source. This isn't a technique that will always work, sometimes it makes a huge difference, sometimes it's effects are neglectable. Regardless I was able to simply save it (the one from your .psd) with 256 colors so I don't see the problem.
The difference in the initial comparison with your previous attempt might not have been related to this. If I were to take another guess it might be:
Don't think too much into it. I'd say you got the gist of how the optimization is suppose to work. When you find a sequence that it can be used to great effect its going to prove useful. As long as you can get 256 colors though nobody really cares if you used it or not; trust me perfectionism can be a real pain sometimes. You know like you know you don't really need to do it but a little voice in your head keeps telling you it has to be perfect. Who cares if its wasting time ~ [edit] testing it brightness doesn't seem to work for this one; most likely a frame/source difference [edit] oh yeah, how you crop it helps a lot too

But in other words, all I have to do to use this technique is to select an area from the first frame, copy it as a layer and place it as a first layer above everything else ?
What if there are cases like yours, where you had to use two different layers since Mugi's head would move .. do I just create another layer, and then place that layer lets say, after Frame 6's layer ? And yes, I was able to save mine with 256 colors but it would be 70kb .. By using the lossy option I could get it to under 50 of course but it looks .. Well, doesn't it look pretty bad if you use more than 10 lossy ? Also for the BRS thing, I want an unique avatar as well ( from both BRS and Mato ) so once you make some freebies, reserve some for me :P.

Lets say you have a .gif and its 60kb (I'm gonna give you a rough guess for each)

BTW are you still going to use the Yui ones or are they free for grabs now?

I'll get back at you with the BRS thing when I find a suitable scene, or otherwise then just claim freebies that you post.
For the Yui thing.. I guess the avatars can be up for grabs. I like the signatures however, so even if I start using BRS one now I will use those Signatures later on when I get tired of BRS :P Lastly, you didn't answer my original question : Did I understand correctly how to unify the pixels like I asked in the post above yours ? Because well, this method somehow seems far more easy than the one explained in Riker's guide. And thanks for the explanation above with the colors and loosy.. I see pretty much how it works now, it's just I usually used the auto-optimization tool on PS so the quality ended up always bad since the colors were 64 or less. Btw. Why don't you have your reputation enabled ? I owe you tons of rep by now but it seems futile to give it ( also I cant yet .. ).

I'll enable it for a while since you asked, but probably disable it back in a day or two.
