animationshop, optimization Options

[kentuckysweetie]

I wasn't quite sure where to post this help question. I am currently trying to animate dark colors for a glitter blackground. The problem is before optimizing everything looks great. When you go to save as animation in gif format, it optimizes the graphic, which never has been a problem before. Now when it does that the colors come out all blotchy and the animated glitter is horrible. Any ideas anybody!
