Photoshop :: Animated Gifs Using PSCS3
Jun 6, 2009
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?

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 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?!

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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 don't like this new version of photoshop elements (photoshop elements 10). When I try to edit an animated gif file, it says I can only view one layer and the rest will be lost.

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 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?

I just started using the trail version of the VideoStudio Pro software today. I am trying to modify a .avi video file. The movie "clips" play fine, but whenever I play the project, there seems to be compression of the video or something- it the video just becomes unclear and fuzzy. It is not sharp. I'm not sure if it's because it's too big or if I have the wrong settings.
how to superimpose animated clips/gifs/images onto a video?

For example, if I save a gif, and I set the frame delay to 33ms each (about 30fps), then load that gif into Gimp, it says the layers are set to 30ms each.
Is this a quirk with Gimp or a limitation of the gif format itself?

I will post this on both the Bridge and Ps User-to-User forums as it applies to both.
I have PsCS3 and PsCS4 installed side by side in the default folders assigned by Adobe but have shifted my Bridge CS4 Cache (containing all the thumbnails and previews) from C:Documents and Settingsetc to a subfolder within My Documents, which I had previously moved to my F: drive - my main data drive.
I have found Bridge CS4 to be much more stable than Bridge CS3. Additionally, Bridge CS4 has certain features which make it more attractive and easier to use than Bridge CS3. I want to use Bridge CS4 in conjunction with PsCS3 until Adobe has sorted out the problems with PsCS4 - which at the moment is simply unuseable on my rather old and humble system. Code:

with Photoshop CS3 on XP-Pro and would really like to learn if there is some why to get it to work as well as PSCS2 (9.0.2)?
Example: I open a white canvas 20x 30" @ 300ppi. On this I 'Place' 4 small websized (400x600px) images as 'Smart Objects' and then add a layer mask to each (a 154mb image when open). Even as I'm placing the 3d image PS10.0.1 is slowing to a crawl and the scratch file has already grown to 6.3GB. Add a few layer masks and the whole thing becomes unusable. PS freezes with "Not Responding" and then 20 or so seconds later it recovers with a scratch disk that's grown by another GB. Every time I move an image around on the canvas PS freezes again. FINALLY after about 5 minutes of poking at the thing the scratch file maxes out at 8.56GB and I can then do what I want with the image and CS3 starts to perform in an acceptable fashion. If I 'purge' the cache I'm right back to the staggered performance. Same image on my laptop behaves the same and scratch file grows to 9GB.
Same image in CS2 (PS9.0.2) opens immediately, performance is right there ready to go. I can do whatever I want, as fast as I wish, and PS9 just keeps up. The scratch file maxes out at around 1.5GB.
I'm running an Intel mobo with an E6600 Quad, 4GB RAM that I run with and without the 3/GB switch (via a boot menu). Main drive is a 10k Raptor and I have two 15k Atlas SCSI drives, one empty one dedicated as PS's scratch disk. History states is set to 10 and cache to 6. This is otherwise a very fast PC that pretty well matches Mac dual Xeon's performance in the Driver Heaven Photoshop benchmark test (I was curious <g>). So why is PS-CS3 so darn Pokey :-((
I really don't know where to start with fixing this as the same behaviour occurs on other computer's I've tried it on. I have not yet seen PSCS3 perform well on ANY PC I've tried it on. Does CS3 always create such HUGE scratch files compared to CS2? Is everyone just living with this sort of performance and accepting it as the price for getting the new features? Other posts here seem to point to a 'networked printer set as the default' issue. Did that, didn't help. And if that were so easy then it would seem like something begging for a small patch from Adobe to fix it. Lots of pros out there with networked printers..
I now shoot with both a D300 and D3 so I have to use BridgeCS3+ACR if I want to continue that preferred workflow. But processing in BridgeCS3 and then working in CS2 is frustrating. Except for very basic chores I'm finding PS10 to be unusable.
Is there anything I can pull out of PS10 to get it to be more lean and mean?

in PSCS3 I am now unsure as to weather or not it is worth it to upgrade. I will probably be getting mine (CS3 Web Premium) today and I am thinking about not installing it but sending it back. I have a very nice working full PSCS2 suite and have been using the no-expire PSCS3 beta and from what I have read so far the new version has a lot of problems. If I install it as an upgrade, I don't think I will be able to use CS2 anymore and I don't want my PS to keep crashing and posing new problems when my CS2 is fine. So I am now stuck with this dilemma... keep it and hope they send out patches and fix the errors or just send it back and wait till they fix the errors. I have not heard any good things about CS3 so far and also they changed a lot of the shortcuts, not sure why as we all are used to the ones that they already had? I don't want to spend all this money only to have crashes, loss of work, aggregation and be wishing I had waited. So far the upgrade seems like a downgrade...
