Upon loading your image, click on the Color Reduction tab.
Next to Colors: adjusting the number of colors will directly affect the
file size of your image.
I usually begin by reducing the number of colors in half, then view the
results and proceed from there. Trial and error write the rules here. The
objective is to find a compromise between image quality and file size.
I get great results with Smart Saver. I use it on *every* GIF image I
create. With JPEG's I find that Image Composer does an adequate job of
compression and Smart Saver is not necessary.
Good luck.
