animation and free transform questions:
First question:
I've just learned how to do animation in PS using IR (the icon I'm using is an example of my first attempts, LOL). To animate this icon, I used six frames (two screencaps and a base layer in black) and it managed to be under 40kb. I attempted to make this same icon using THREE screencaps and a black base layer and it ended up way to big, like 65kb. So what did I do wrong? And are there any tips for keeping file size under 40kb using as many pictures as you want? I checked the memories, but the tuts there are for certain effects and I'm more looking for pointers on animation in general (like how best to keep file size under 40kb and all that). Any help on this is appreciated. I use PSCS2.
Second question:
Whenever I use my free transform tool to rotate text it ends up pixelly and blurry. Is there anything I can do to remedy that in order to get smooth looking text at an angle?
Again, all help is very much appreciated. Thanks!
