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

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

Are you using Photoshop or ImageReady?

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 image
EDIT: or as Black-Ice said you can go to File->Save Optimized As...

nope...
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.
It works on my PC...
