Replying to Photoshop Tutorial: How To Create Animated Gifs Using Ps & Imageready

I work in CS2 too.

just go to  (Windows) tab, press on it, and check the Animation option

and that will bring up the animation little window to u :)

I created a number of animated gifs with IR but ocassionally the smalle ones become very pixilated.

I am using images that are all 150*150 (100 resolution).

Here is my process:

Once I have created the pictures and put them in the animation window,

1) I optimize the animation from the menu on the side of the animation window.

 2) Then from the file menu, I  "save optimized"

3) Then from the file window, I "save optimized as" and save the file to my computer.

For some reason the photos begin to fade and pixilate and look awful.

I use IR 7. 

I have CS IR 2 but am not using it.

Help!

I can't drag the image.

And when I wanted to open the images in ImageReady, it asked me to convert image to 8 bit RGB color mode.

Hello

Great explanation, but I am stck I am sure at a pretty basic place. I need to saved an animated Gif at 30K, the size of my pic is 468 pixels x 60 pixels. Each GIF pic I have saved is no more than 10 kps. In image ready I have 31 slides of which 3 have a delay of 10 seconds while the rest are tweened between them with no delay. 

Problem 1: when saving via "file>export>macromedia flash swf" I get an swf file saved at 109 kProblem 2: when saving fvia "file>save optimised as> image only" it saves my animated gif as a blank pic (468 x 60 pixels) and when previewed it opens in photoshop and is a locked layer named index.

Please tell me you can help cause I'm under deadline and stuck with no directionThank you chris

Just ask me if you don't understand anything or if you have any trouble.

Have fun chickadees!
