Photoshop :: Saving Animated Gif's In Adobe Image Ready
Jan 14, 2004
I want to make an animated GIF in Adobe ImageReady and save it out as a .gif file. I've made the animation Ok, but when i go to 'saved optimized as' and select 'HTML and IMAGES', the HTML file works fine, but the .gif file will not open. I get an error message that reads: 'could not complete this operation because the file was not found.
I'm trying to open an animated gif into Image Ready from PS but can't seem to get past square one.
I've done this before but quite awhile ago and my memory is not helping me. When I open the gif file in Image Ready it only shows one frame instead of a stack of frames.
a client (web design / dev) is adamant that i use a particular "logo" for her organization's web site. the logo, as it turns out, is an animated gif. i've been granted license to modify the logo as needed in order to get it to look better on the web site, so i want to trim away some fat.
i wish to avoid trimming the same piece from every frame. i'd like one modification to propagate across all of the frames (as there is no motion there). my approach so far has been these unsuccessful steps:open the original gif from animation window's from layer's window, ensure that "propagate frame 1 changes" is checked choose select all from menu in main canvas areac] finally, use the eraser tool to eliminate some extra bits of speckle which detract from my ability to cast a nice drop-shadow it's at this point that i realize that only that frame which was originally selected has been modified
I allways want to animate some text on my sigs...animate then as in it looks like your watch the text being type right in front of you...like for instance what you see on ur screen when u type...I haven't found any good tutorials for it in image ready, well I really haven't found ne tutorials...if ne1 wants to nudge me in the right direction it would be apreciated...maybe a lil hint on how toget moving with it....I am not good in image ready
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 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 use Photoshop CS2 all the time. Now from somewhere also have Adobe Image Ready CS2 which I do not want or need. My publisher images try to open in Imageready but can't. How can I delete Imageready without deleting Photoshop as well.
try to save an image in IMAGE READY, I get this message:" Could not complete this operation because an assertion has failed" What's this? What can I do? Should I re-install Photoshop 7.0.1?
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.  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 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.
Im using ImageReady to resize animated gifs to 3 different dimensions, one of the dimensions is 101x80 and i need to keep this particular dimensions files below 5kb, what i can do to reduce the file size without losing to much quality?
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 have a bunch of animated gifs, all 101x80 dimension, but i need to get them down to 3kb in file size or less while keeping the same dimensions, any advice on how i may achieve this, the gifs all vary in file size.
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 several animated gifs that I would like to watch in a sequence (one after another). Is there a way to combine them, and if not, is there an existing program that could accomplish that?
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 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?
