Next I took it down from 8-bit/256 colors to 4-bit/16 colors. As
mentioned before, thats a no brainer for a black and white image. That
reduces the file size even further. Then just for looks I changed some
of the 'almost' white or 'almost' black pixels to true black and white
leaving the greys in the middle of the range.


If you had taken it all the way to 2 colors (B & W) the GIF compression would
really have been something.

I tried. It started looking crappier rather than better. Thats why I
went after the 16 grey colors one at a time. Couldn't pull it off.
