Re: File size of .gifs

Excuse me but being on a MAC has NOTHING to do with how they get thier
images so small.  All one has to do is set up thier Photoshop preferences
to eliminate saving the thumbnail, icon and full size of the image.  That
is what creates large file sizes on images.... the extra garbage that the
users SOFTWARE is using not the PLATFORM of the user...  I'm not sure if
you're able to do this in Paintshop Pro or not but in Photoshop you can....
