I've searched through the archives, but haven't been able to find a tut that helps me...I'm sure there's one out there that can help me, but I can't find it.

I use PS Elements for making graphics, and GIMP for animating them. I have my 9 images, but they're to large for an LJ icon when animated. How do I make it smaller?

I figure there's got to be a way to decrease the size of the pics with elements before I animate them, thus making the animation file smaller, right? I've decreased colors to 128 - but they're still to large.

Or should I be trying to decrease the file size in GIMP when I do the animation?

Any tips or links to tutorials would be helpful.

Thank you.

OH, here's the image, in case it helps.
