Hey, let me drunkenly animate your photos in about 25 to 60 days!

i think it also touched a nerve with a minor but persistent sense of guilt i have in often using elements of other people's images in my own

Eff that, you are OTM.

Recently I had a Nirvana cover I did removed for copyright reasons. No samples or anything in it, everything was performed by me, and I wasn't selling the track either. I understand your paranoia.

i cant believe no ones used the title KNOWN ISSUE for a thriller movie yet

Another cool tumblr of GIFs: http://billdomonkos.tumblr.com/

there's also probably a better place for this as well but I thought you'd get a kick out of it ZS

that's pretty cool forks! i wish i knew more about that stuff and didn't suck so bad at programming.

new batch

z s can you make this bear be smoking a cigarette, contemplatively (i guess i mean the puffs are infrequent)

love the bear

(i guess i mean the puffs are infrequent)

even though you made this very clear, i somehow only read this after the fact. sorry schlump!

here's a more contemplative bear without a care

I think you're a genius ZS, and believe me, I use that word frequently.

my god, z s, so good! I am having trouble finding ways to incorporate this into my life with the exposure it deserves (kitchen mosaic, neck tattoo, &c) but I am working it out cause it is worth it

ZS, can you turn my supersad picture of my caged and shaved dog into something more happy? http://imgur.com/0WC4Cys

http://imgur.com/NR04dKg or this one which looks a little bit less like an add for an animal cruelty charity :( he's pretty spaced atm. I showed him a painting I did for him and he was really into it, probably because of the aforementioned pain meds

http://imgur.com/NR04dKg

HE LOOKS LIKE AN ENGLISH SPRINGER SPANIEL AND I WOULD LIKE TO PET HIM VERY MUCH TY

It is! And he would like that very much because he has an intense fondness for people that frankly perplexes me.

I'm out of town this weekend but I can try when I get home dowd!

Thanks!

It's unnecessary ZS (not to mention perhaps undesirable due to my poor picture) - Dillon is fairly chipper and cone-free now. :)

i'm sorry dowd! i worked on your pic a bit last week and got absolutely nowhere...and then i never got back to it. *says 'i am the woyst' in the most ridiculous early 20th century NYC accent imaginable*

i haven't made much of anything recently, except for this earlier today:

thanks govt shutdown!

Thanks ZS (love the new pic, btw - what's the source?)

it's a link that a few ilxors shared earlier today on facebook: http://horrorhomework.com/blog/2013/09/a-collection-of-creepy-vintage-halloween-photos/

(btw - ilx milk carton - robyn? does she go by a different name now?)

ZS I have a *terrible idea* for you -- take today's Daily News cover and make it so that the abraham lincoln chair boehner is sitting on is more toilet-like and have his pants coming down and some kind of *FAAART* type text noise flashing, or something along those lines

that is truly a *terrible idea*

what if i just replace it with the real footage i've obtained of boehner pooping irl?

hey, stevie d asked me something on facebook about optimizing gifs, and i thought i'd repost my answer here in case A) it's of use to anyone here and/or B) someone wants to suggest other tips for optimizing gifs for file size, or i'm deeply wrong about something, or whatever:

One way to optimize in Photoshop is just to give it an approximate size and let it do it for you. In the upper-right corner of the "Save for Web" box, there's an "Optimize to File Size" option you can choose.

The problem is that PS tends to make gifs look like shit when it auto-optimizes, imo. In my experience it usually knocks down the overall colors a bunch, whereas I usually want to keep as many of the 256 colors as I can.

The best way to optimize it depends on what you're working with. If you're working with design kind of stuff - a few different solid colors, not too many gradients - then you can knock down the overall colors to 32 or so and it won't harm the quality much, and it'll help with the file size a bunch. If you're working with a real life image - like from a movie or something - with lots of different shades and colors, you can't really knock it down beneath 128 colors without sacrificing a lot of quality.

I'm running out of time (headed out the door in a sec), sorry. But I guess my standard tip to drastically reduce file size is to start by bumping up the "Lossy" value to something low, like 5 (out of 100), and then lowering the "Dither" value to something like 90 (out of 100). Adjusting those two values even just a little bit sometimes drops the file size significantly. So where a 0/100 Lossy gif might be 1.5 MB, a 5/100 Lossy gif might be 1.0 MB. but then a 10/100 might be just 950 kb, 15/100 might be 925kb, etc. My point is that for some reason the first few bits of Lossy value that you introduce have a much more significant effect on file size than continuing to add Loss.

So if you need to reduce file size, start by doing just a little Loss, a little dither, and see if that helps. Generally the gif will still look acceptably close to the original full quality version, and sometimes at half the file size. That protip comes with a ton of caveats and doesn't always work, but it commonly does help out so give it a try.

If the file is still too large, try reducing the size of the image just a little. Going from 500x500 to 400x400 makes a huge difference because you're going from an area of 250,000 to 160,000 - a reduction of about 36%.

Finally, of course, think about removing a frame or two, especially if one of those frames uses colors that are really different from the rest of the frames. The more consistent you keep the colors in the frames that are used in the gif, the more efficient the optimization will be.

IMO!
