Problem with gif/jpg image

How to optimize this...

[madcat]

Hi:

The main graphic on my website is a mix of photographs and gif images (like the logo and background shapes). I saved it as a jpg for now but the gif aspects look terrible online. It's especially difficult because the two are so intertwined. Is there an easy method around this problem outside of overlaying the photo images on top of the gif?

Somehow exporting the large image all at once? I use Fireworks MX.

Thanks

well, in the interest of saving bandwith I assume you compressed the jpeg significantly... the fix with the least amount of effort involved is to just save this hybrid image as a JPEG with zero compression- which will of course result in a large file.

Does your site use CSS for layout? If it does, you can have the photos as the background image of your header div, and then in the html, insert your logo gif in that div.

You could image slice as well I suppose.

Without seeing what the image looks like, I think it's hard to tell what the best way to go would be.
