AHH, gif. help for a newb (please)!
I've been working on a design for a while and now that I've actually finished, I can't seem to be able to keep my .gif thumbnail under 10kb. I'm using Adobe PS CS2 and the saved files always seem to be around 60kb.

Any ideas or helpful advice?

Oh yes, another thing. For the thumbnail, should it be a graphic containing all of your design, or can you zoom in/crop and only include a selected part of your design. If I include my entire design, the details are so miniature they are almost non-existant...

Hmm, and if I have a small design for the back of the shirt, where do I submit that? Do I have to put it on a template and squeeze it in with the design for the front of the shirt?


Thanks in advance.

Cheers.

make sure the thumb is set to 72 dpi, then file-save for web

Thank you so much! (Gawd, I must really sound like a newb)

Do you know whether the thumbnail has to be of the entire design, or can it just include a selected part of it?

It may not even be the desing but a pic of something that could relate to it

And what if I have a design for the back of the shirt? Do I squeeze that in the same file as the large preview file?

if your design involves printing on both sides of the shirt, you need to show it
