Photoshop :: Imageready, Animated GIFs, And Transparency
Feb 8, 2007
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'm using Imageready to create an animated gif. The specification for animated gifs allows the delay between frames to be as little as 1/100th however whenever I try and save a gif with this delay and look at it in a browser the delay is never less than 1/10th
Does anyone know of a way to get faster animated gifs, or wether this is a problem with my browser(mozilla 1.4 & ie 5)? I'm pretty sure it's not my PC slowing things down.

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'm tryin to make adjustments to a sig and when I play the final animation, ImageReady didn't play each frame in a row, instead it played them ontop of each other. I couldn't figure it out so I just saved each frame individually (only 13 frames) thinking I could just put them into Windows Movie Maker real quick and be done with it. Nope. Windows movie maker won't allow a frame to be shorter than 1 second and I need each to be .1 second in length. So here I am back in ImageReady with all 13 frames and the animation box open, but I can't figure out how to put them in there.

I have created identical images in both Photoshop & .gif versions and can't get any of them to work.
Â
The images are saved in an 8 bit format. There are 8 layers. the largest version is 761px 760px.Â
Â
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 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?!

using ImageReady for animations, trying to use the animation palette in PSCS3 isn't as friendly to me. I have a 5 layer PSD file. I have opened up the animation palette. I set the tween between the images (can't you select the first frame, the last frame, set the tween and it will insert between ALL 5 frames (not wiping out frames two through 4)?) and now am stumped. How do I save the animation as an animated gif file? If I am going to take the file into Flash, can I just use the animated psd file?

I'm making some animated gifs from an old video game.
I was successfull on my first few attempts, but when I tried to do some more they came out blurry.
They dont look blurry untill I save them as a gif. It appears that after I resize the canvas they become blurry when saved.
The blurry one came out clear. Could it be that theirs something wrong with my windows picture and fax viewer, but why would all other images be clear?

I'm making an animated mood theme for LJ in PS CS4, but so far all my gifs are slow, even when I preview them before making any changes (except resizing the screencaps, which were in PNG before I converted them to JPG). The gifs have less than 70 frames, which still sounds like a lot except that I've seen other moods with roughly the same number of frames and the same image sizes I get after all the adjustments (screen, soft light, selective coloring)--and those moods move at normal speeds, for some reason. Is there a way to speed the gifs up, even if the delay between frames is already 0 seconds? I've tried reducing the number of colors from 256 to 160 and setting the quality to bicubic sharper to make the images even smaller, but they still move with the speed of an arthritic turtle.

Using ImageReady 7.0
I created an animated gif by putting a bunch of files named so they retained that order (1-29) into a folder and then did Import Folders as Frames. I then add times in the animation window for each frame and then save it optimized. I've always done it this way because it works and is fairly simple but I can't edit the file later and that's what I need help with.
whenever I try to add an image or move layers all the frames end up being that layer in the animation window. All I want to do is add some new images to the end or maybe somewhere else in one of the animated gifs instead of going through the steps like before.

I have been using Photoshop on a Mac for several years to make animated gif files for our company website and for our customers as well and have never had a problem until recently. On some Windows computers, these files are now appearing with ghost images bleeding through from one frame to another.
I have made sure that all layers that are not needed in a particular frame are turned off and I have tried various ways of saving the gif out of Photoshop but have had no luck. I did discover if I turned the option for transparency off in the Save for Web and Devices box the image bleed issue would go away, but then white lines appeared in my gifs instead. After doing some research it appears the image bleed problem is happening in the Internet Explorer 9 browser, but does not happen in any other browser I have tested - Safari, Firefox on Mac and Firefox on Windows.

I took a series of photos that would make a nice animated GIF if I can align the pictures. I could try to do this by eye, but it would not work very well. Is there a way I can use photoshop to line up the pictures so they superimpose properly to make the animated GIF?

So I created a basic slideshow banner with three different images that fade from one to the next. When I preview it on the timeline, everything looks great, but when I go to save for web and select gif, then hit play for a preview, the fade transitions are gone and they just hard cut from one to the next. How to keep those fade transitions when exporting?

I could design and build this project in my sleep in Fireworks. I use Photoshop for retouching, not design.
Â
Anyway, my client wants the files delivered in Photoshop, so I am working in PS CC.
Â
I have sliced my image up and one part is an animated GIF and the rest should be static GIFs. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to assign animation vs static for slices. Everything is animated. How do I assign a slice to be static. In Fireworks you can choose GIF or Animated GIF. Simple.

I got a request from an administrator of an online meat cutters club. He sent me two separate animated gifs that he wants me to put together side by side in one picture. When I open one it is fine. I then adjust the canvas to make room for the other but when I "open as layers" the second gif's colors are all messed up. Is there a way to combine 2 animated gifs side by side into one larger image? It would be some tedious work moving the layers and merging down to mix them in, but I might be able to do that.

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 have an animated GIF whose edges I'd like to trim off. Some forums say you can only do this by breaking down animated GIFs to individual frames, cropping each, then recreating the single GIF. This would be a lot of work for 93 frames. Is there a better easier way to do this?

Are any efforts being made to improve the dithering of animated GIFs in GIMP? The dithering seems subpar compared to a program like Jasc Animation Shop. Why is that?
