Making A Quick GIF in Photoshop/Imageready

Postby Locke » Sat Mar 11, 2006 2:02 pm

Okay, first off i once knew how to do this but years of doing video editing and using iMove have tainted my Mac skittles.

The Situation: I have 3 pictures, I just want to make them into a quick 1 second intervaled GIF that I can put on my blog. I searched every tutorial site and for some reason they only offer advice on help with the easy animated GIFS that dont use Imageready.

Help? :?:

in Imageready, you can specify which layers are visible for each frame in your animation... so let's say you have 7 frames. One way that you could do it is make 7 layers and make only one visible in each of the 7 frames throughout the animation.

Oh everytime I try to save it the only option is in .PSD, any idea how to change that?

Photopshop and imageready can be pretty hard to navigate at times.
