Ok well, I finally figured out how to make animated things in Adobe PhotoShop/Image Ready.. but in order for it to be animated, it needs to be saved as a GIF file. Thing is, it wont let me save it as GIF!! Itll only let me save it as a HTML and PNG. Why wont it give me the option to save it as GIF? Am I doing something wrong?:confused: *explodes*

Bumping this thread because I would like to know, too. :lol: It only lets me save it as a .PSF, which outside of the photoshop program is completely useless.

I'd like to know how to do it inside the Photoshop 7.0/Image Ready program.

I've seen programs that will let you piece up all your .gif frames one by one. Only problem is these programs usually cost money. The free one I downloaded sucked. It wouldn't let me 'loop' the image infinitely.
Not that it's too big of a deal with another (better) program costing money. It's just that A) I already shelled out enough money for Photoshop 7.0 and B) I don't want to add another friggin' program to my computer.

Enough ranting.

Anyone got the answer on this?

Please.

BTW: Here's a link to the free program I tried. Maybe you'll have better luck with it than I did:

Oh, and Hi Crystal! :wave:

Hi Krystal!!:wave:

Yes please-- us K/Crystal's beg of you!!:lol:

^^ Bump.


No one knows?!?

Try putting .GIF at the end of the file name.
For example, if you wanted to save the file, "ABC" name the file "ABC.GIF" instead.

Isn't there a drop-down menu on PSP with an option of file types you can save as?

yeah there is. its right under where you type your file name.

But there isnt. GIF is not an option! It is for PhotoShop, but not Image Ready-- which is the one with the animations. Figures, I finally figure out how to do it.. and the damn thing wont work!!!:livid:

That's the only thing I can think of is that you're not really saving it as 'Save Optimized As'.

o0o but I am!! But the image only isnt a GIF.. its PNG or something..

It does! :smash: MY question is- can I change the settings so that the Image Only is GIF?

Try going to Edit > Preferences > then to Optimization. Then when that comes up under 'Use' click Auto select GIF or Jpeg. If that doesn't work then I don't know what else to do.
