Unzip and read the Readme.txt file. As well as the Optimization guide too.

Recording = CamStudio
Converting = Microsoft GifAnimator
Optimizing = Trout's Gif Optimizer

All that are used.

Use descriptive titles for your topics.

Next topic I see that isn't descriptive (WTF??? | Gif | HELP) and you won't be posting topics anymore.

I use corcrop to crop all the images and then graphics gale (if you import all it will automatically animate the images), after much searching for gif makers I find this to be the best (but it's not free).

Gif Optimizer is the only one I will keep, how exactly does it make the file smaller anyway?

I use AnimGet and Animation Shop 3.
Probably not the best way, but it works.

Tell me, can you guess which of these I put through the optimiser?

I want to see if it damages image quality at all.

Left Or right?

Oh my god I love you for leading me to AnimGet.

Everyone go get AnimGet, now.

Oh, and Animation Shop 3 is good too. Good free replacement for ImageReady.

I can see no real difference on image quality than their Filesizes o_O.

Left is 1/3 of the Right's File Size.
