Optimized GIF

This is an optimized GIF image. It is GIF 32. When I looked at the difference between 32 and 64, there wasn't much because of the colors, so I went with 32.

Usually, you want to choose GIF for images that have large areas of flat colors, such as a log or a simple drawing. GIFs are "lossless", so you don't lose quality when you make them smaller. Instead you lose colors.

On this image, of a handmade clock, another of my photographs, (the clock was a gift to me), I used the crop technique that alows you to mess with the squareness. I had no idea this could be done! Adding yet another tool to my toolbox.
