Chris,
The problem is with the images themselves
using netscape go to:
http://www.azstarnet.com/~wings/dave1.gif
Then go to:
http://www.azstarnet.com/~wings/dave.gif
Now, using the back and forward arrows, look at the difference between the
two images.
There are two possible reasons for the differences:
1) different source images entirely.. check your high-res sources for
differences.. in Photoshop (or PSP5) make the two images separate
layers of the same document.. hide the top layer and undhide it
repeatedly to spot any differences
2) If the source images are identical, then the problem is almost
positively with the dithereing of the two gifs. Be sure that they are
both using the same exact palette (if you use different palettes, the
images will dither differently, and that difference will definately
show in the final version.)
Hope that helps,
Pat
