Syd,

The old Obey Your Masters Image was static.:

The new Obey Your Masters Image is animated:

The timer is set to switch the image between frames every 3 hundreths of a second

The problem with that speed is that not all browsers can render it correctly. In fact, as far as I can tell, only Mozilla Firefox does.

Bringing the image to 10/100sec instead of 3/100sec makes it present the same way to Chrome, Firefox, and IE.

Example:




Next up.

The old Streets of Rage image was grainy but a small image at 29KB. Definitely needed a facelift.

The new Streets of Rage image is crisp, but at 152KB.



Since it is a cartoon, a Photoshop smart blur can be used to even out the colors that are close to identical without removing detail from lines or edges. This makes the image look slightly more flat, but should be close to unnoticeable. The advantage to running a smart blur before saving is that the JPEG compression doesn't need to distort the areas that have the same color tone. Since the smart blur is a cleaner look than the graininess of JPEG the image suffers very little upon recompression. I set the compression quality to 60 and brought the image down to ~42KB.



If you are interested I can continue to do the same type of work on the others. The Mario timing needs to be reduced to work across multiple browsers, the shotgun and pepsi free ones ones can be severely reduced in size without quality loss. Let me know if you are interested.
