Save animation as *.gif
Hi all,
I'm having a bit of a tough time saving an animation in *.gif format.
On the File > Save As.. > dialog, there's only an option to save as *.psd which I've already done. But now I'm trying to save the whole animation as a Gif file...
Somebody please help. I'm using Image Ready by the way
Paper!

Um... If I remember correctly you should choose the option to "save optimized as..."

Re: Save animation as *.gif
preview the file in a web browser(right click on the image Preview in-> Firefox/Internet Explore) and then save it like you would with any other imagePaperCut wrote:Hi all,

Maybe he edited it after he saw maxxis' post...
It was there when he started this thread...
Another way you can do it is to send the image to photoshop and then
File>Save for web...
here you can adjust certain things to maybe make the pic smaller etc...

For some weird reason photoshop isnt really designed to work with gifs... Thats why most/all of the gif editing (etc) has to be done in image ready... and only when it is complete you can export to photoshop (which will only show 1 frame) and then save it.PaperCut wrote:Actually he isn't I've tried that too...Black-Ice wrote:Er... wrong...LinkX wrote:if you do that, it wont be animated, it will only be 1 frameBlack-Ice wrote: Another way you can do it is to send the image to photoshop and then
