Photoshop :: GIFs & Transparency In PS 9
Aug 30, 2006
I have been searching what is commonly referred to as the "inter net" for about three CONSECUTIVE days now -- I mean I haven't slept or eaten.
WHY in the world would I do such a thing? Well... to put it simply: BECAUSE NO WHERE ON THIS GOD FORSAKEN WEB are there any tutorials for creating TRANSPARENCY for GIFs in PHOTOSHOP CS:2.
After hours of searching I've all but given up hope. I keep trying every godforsaken thing I can and re-reading all the tutorials written for photoshop 5 and 6, and even the help files and online tutorials that adobe provides. NONE OF THE ABOVE have provided me with any REAL step by step information on how to successfully produce results.

I created an image in photoshop CS2. I imported it into Imageready and animated it. The image contains some transparent elements (black fading to transparent, a drop shadow.)
When I save it as a GIF file (using Imageready,) the animation works fine, but the transparency doesn't appear correctly. The parts of the GIF that are completely transparent are fine, but the shades of black fading to transparent appear as a shades of gray on a white background. I messed around with the optimization settings and it seems to have something to do with the 'matte' setting, but nothing seems to fix this.

I have two pictures.
I would like the two pictures to blend in the middle from left to right.
The picture on the left will be sharpe on the left side but fade/transparent by the time it reaches the middle.
The picture on the right will be sharpe on the right side but fade/transparent in the middle.
I would think I need a gradient transparency (you always have to use a color)
I see pictures like this all the time, but can not seem to find the correct feature or combinations of features.

I made this gif animation for a site I'm building, I go to save it and I use 'Save Optimized'.
IT SAVED IN B/W! The animation has to be in color seeing.

I just downloaded Photoshop CS6 for the first time I want to make animated GIFs for my blog on Tumblr, gifs that I can easily add my own watermark to, so If they're used, I'll have credit for creating them. I know a gif is a series of moveable pictures, but that's all I know. Any links to how-to articles/simplest information you can give will be extremely useful.

so I made a gif. and it just won't move. it works fine when I open it but once I show the layers (other than the first layer), it stops moving and I can't get it to move again. it doesn't move in photoshop, nor when I save it as a gif. I need to show the layers to be able to auto tone though.

I'm created a web page with a drag java script where people can move pictures with there mouse. I uploaded all the pictures to my picture hoster, put all the code in...and I've noticed that theres the matte around when the pictures got moved over another picture. so i went back into ps and put the matte to none..and it seemed to fix the problem until the pictures turned out all choppy.
is there any way to get the transparent gif with non choppy edges and without matte?
I've been searching the web and trying out numerous things is photoshop, but it just seems impossible.
is ps the right program to use? I tried paintshop pro...but it just seems more complicated than ps.

Is it possible to create animated gifs with photoshop CS3? Is so, how? I have played around with my sisters version on her computer before I purchase my own version and cannot figure it out. If not, which version of photoshop would you recomend I upgrade to? I am familar with version 7 on my old computer which crashed a while ago. I have since purchased a laptop, but since I didn't have the cd of photoshop 7.0 from my original license I have to repurchase.

I am trying to make a transparent gif; basically I want white text on a transparent background. I have Photoshop and Illustrator when I make the image everything looks fine than I save for web and if you put the gif in front of a color (in HTML/IE) the text edges are blocky, it sort of looks like it is a low Res. however it is a normal res. like 72 or 96. The other interesting part is that if I save for web with a colored background it looks fine.

Recently produced an image and saved as a jpg but need to save it as a gif. When saving as a gif some of the data was lost and the image appeared slightly pixilated. Gave the image to a webmaster and he converted the jpg to gif without any loss of quality. Any ideas where I went wrong please?
Errr... before anyone asks, no I can't ask webmaster how he did it because he's gone on holiday.

I just moved up to PS 5.5 to 6 (maybe someday I'll be able to afford CS!).
In PS 5.5, you select which colors to make transparent through File > Export > GIF-95 (or something like that).
For the life of me, I can't find an option in PS 6 to select transparent colors.

In PS 5.5 to make a transparent GIF, you selected the color you wanted transparent from the palette of colors in the specific image. But I don't see how that's possible with the Save For Web in PS 6. Is it?
Thing is, what I need to do is mask around parts of the image, and than make the mask color transparent.

I have created identical images in both Photoshop & .gif versions and can't get any of them to work.
The images are saved in an 8 bit format. There are 8 layers. the largest version is 761px 760px.
When I get the dialog box for "save for web," no matter which version of the images I try, the animation choices are greyed out. I do not see a check box for "animate" like there is in my Elements 10 dialog box on another system. What do need to do to be able to save as an animation?

I'm trying to create an animated .gif, the tutorials make it sound easy, just one problem, I can't find "Animate" in any menu. I am using Win 7, PS CS6, not extended. Is this available only in the extended version?

I am familiar with creating animated gifs in photoshop. I have an iPhone 4s and I am able to view animated gifs. I am just wondering if there is a certain way to export these animated gifs so that they may play on iPhone/iPad/Android? Or am I able to just export the animated gif as I usually do and expect them to work on those platforms?!

I've recently learned how to make gifs from videos with photoshop. Today I've decided to use HD files to make better quality gifs and it worked fine. I made about 3 gifs. Then photoshop stopped working. It just won't open the animation. As soon as I add the file and select the bit of video I need, it shuts down. It's only a problem with HD files (from a dvd rip). It doesn't happen with smaller files.

I have Photoshop CS5 Extended, running on Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I use Photoshop to make gifs, either from video frames > layers or from importing screenshots into a stack. When I make the gifs, I set the frame delay in the animation panel to whatever I want - mostly 0.04, 0.06 and 0.1 and when I play it, it works exactly how I want it to, running at the speed set.
But when I go to Save for Web and Devices, the preview of the gif is slow and doesn't play at the same rate as what I set. No matter what I do to the frame rate - set it to no delay, convert it to a timeline gif, the gif doesn't run faster in the Save for Web window. When I upload it to a website, again the gif plays at the same slow rate shown in the Save for Web window.
This problem doesn't happen when I import a video to layers and set it to skip every two frames (or more). But even if I make a gif with very few frames (either from importing from a video with no skipping or from importing screenshots), it still runs very slow.
Other friends who make gifs via the same method as I do don't encounter this problem. I even opened a .psd from a friend of a gif with a frame rate of 0.06 and when I went to Save for Web, it still played very slow but for my friend, they managed to export the gif and have it play at the intended speed in their Photoshop (also CS5).
So how can I make the change the setting for the frame rate in Save for Web and Devices because I assume it must be an issue within that panel?

I'm using Photoshop CS6 . I use the timeline to make my frames and adjust the delay number at the bottom of each thumbnail, i've tried (No Delay, 0.01, 0.1, 02) but once I save they slow down.
When I press play from the timeline it plays fast and smooth. When I click "Save For Web" and press play on the bottom right it plays the same (Although for some reason when the delay is set to No Delay or 0, it plays SUPER fast)
When I click "Preview..." on the bottom right and it opens up in IE it plays very slow even though its delay is set to 0 or the others i've listed above. When I save and open it plays just like when I click preview, slow and delayed. I've tried opening with IE, Firefox, and Chrome and same result.
I even tried saving the frames from my animation and using the Online Generator from [URL]......... and the image can play REALLY fast setting the delay all the way down, heck, I had to set it to around "277 delay" for it to play the way Photoshop saves it thats how slow Photoshop is saving my gifs.
So I know its not a case of the gif having too many frames, or the file being too big.. (Which I don't really see how thats relevant anyways since it should only decrease the image quality not the animation speed)
EDIT: I read somewhere that its because I dont have Quicktime, is this true? I don't want to DL Quicktime if not because I dont need it.

I know how to make an animated gif.So that is not what I'm after.
I simply want to save the frames as gifs (after Ive finished "tweening") in a folder.Then I can use them elswhere.
Its easy enough to import folder as frames.But why cant I just save the same folder w/the tweened frames?
File > Export > Animation Frames as Files is disabled (greyed out) for some reason and I can't figure out why.Or does that even matter?

I'm designing for web, and I want to make a box that is white and has 50% translucency.
So that things can be seen though, but they are faded so that text can go on top.
I've tried all- matting and .gifs and .pngs and dithering -

I am having issue with smoothing my GIF images so that they do not display as jagged in my flash movies.
I am developing them in freehand and then web preping them in photoshop by maximising the colours to ensure high quality display - not worried about movie size right now (i just want to find the fine end of the graphic spectrum).
I am applying the following settings on saving for web: GIF selective, diffusion 256 colours and so on, following all the correct properties and my images (particularily lines and edges) are coming out jagged and pixelated. I have tried gaussian blur but this kills my image clarity and then they just look too soft.

I've been trying to create a banner that streches using transparent gifs on top of a loaded jpeg background. The gif looks perfect when i save it on photoshop but as soon as i upload it on to the jpeg i get a noisey white line around the outline of the giff, does anyone know how i can minimise or erase this?
