I don't know celtboy, i've never used Photoshop to make a gif.
I use a thing called "Video Avatar" when making gifs, sorry.

I had problems before having an avatar that would just freeze and couldn't figure out the problem and iirc no one on here could either

tried to use wmm to make them, but the time delay options are no good, too slow about 1sec a frame..i can make them no problem on photoshop but when i save them to pc in gif format and go to play them they just stay still!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

maybe when you exporting it ,its only taking the first image and not the actuall bunch that make up the gif you want

try checking the options before you save the gif to the pc

could be just the matter of one click to sort it

well when i have previewed it in p/s, i just go to save as...gif, location on pc etc...there is only one option for gif in save as....it plays no problem with p/s..

have you tried uploading a gif to see if it works online ?

**celtboy** · 14-08-2008, 07:15 PM

sent it to paul waiting for a responce...

**Renegade T** · 14-08-2008, 07:17 PM

i think its a problem with the saving from photoshop , p/s will play it as you made it but for some reason when saving its not saving all the animated frames

**celtboy** · 14-08-2008, 07:19 PM

ye that sounds about right...but why that is the question!!! lol

"Save as for web"?
