Image Strip Compression

There are a lot of options for reducing the file size of a computer file.

I preferred to preserve the image as image, since .gif itself already uses a compression technique, and the final Adobe Flash animation can cope easily with images.

The GIF file format - Graphics Interchange Format - is based on the so-called LZW compression technology, patented by Unisys. LZW is the abbreviation for Abraham Lemple, Jacob Zif and Terry Welch, the inventors of this technique.
