Animated gifs appear to have image bleedthrough in Internet Explorer 9

I have been using Photoshop on a Mac for several years to make animated gif files for our company website and for our customers as well and have never had a problem until recently. On some Windows computers, these files are now appearing with ghost images bleeding through from one frame to another. I have made sure that all layers that are not needed in a particular frame are turned off and I have tried various ways of saving the gif out of Photoshop but have had no luck. I did discover if I turned the option for transparency off in the Save for Web and Devices box the image bleed issue would go away, but then white lines appeared in my gifs instead. After doing some research it appears the image bleed problem is happening in the Internet Explorer 9 browser, but does not happen in any other browser I have tested - Safari, Firefox on Mac and Firefox on Windows. Has anyone run across this issue and found any way to resolve it? It's hard to explain to my customers that their files are fine when what they see on their screens is not. Thanks!

Joel,
You are doing nothing wrong and it is not a Photoshop issue, but a Microsoft one from what I understand after researching this earlier this year. If you were to check you would NOT have this problem in Firefox on a Windows computer, only IE. I believe it started with version 8, but can't swear to that, but I know for sure it was in IE 9. At any rate the way to "fix" it is to change the Compatibility View Mode in IE. Depending on how this view is set you may see any number of issues including the lines that you descrbe. I've included a screen shot showing where to change this. (The small icon next to the address bar.) On my computer when the icon is blue it displays incorrectly, when it is gray things look as they should. Or you can use Firefox and avoid the problem all together. We even had issues where it made our web content reflow around the graphics incorrectly if we didn't have this set correctly. What's bad about it is that it's hard to explain to your customer why their stuff looks wrong and Microsoft has known about this issue for quite a while and hasn't fixed it.
Glad you posted on here so I could post back a fix. I usually do when I find a solution, but it took us several months to come up with what was happening and I'd forgotten to post back.

Report on which computers have which version of Internet Explorer?

Hi, Does anyone know of a simple report or way of reporting on which computers have which version of Internet Explorer?
e.g. I expect to mostly find 7, but checking also for 6 & 8).
As its integrated into the OS this isn't as easy to determine as with other products installed. I know there are simple manual check like "Help About" and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
Thanks.

Hi efacg,
Most printing issues are solved by resetting the Printing preferences. When you print from Firefox and you click on the down arrow, do you see Defualt and Firefox? Please make changes to the preferences here and preview the document.
If this continues to be an issue please also see [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]

I have both Mozilla Firefox & Internet Explorer installed one my computer, but chose to us Firefox. Several days ago while opening Firefox a screen popped up which said that my Firefox browser was out of date. I clicked on the box, which said free download. This happened several times and now on my desktop I have Firefox Setup 3.6.13, Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe, Firefox Setup 3.6.13(2), Firefox Setup 3.6.13(3), Firefox Setup 3.6.13(3).exe, Firefox Setup 3.6.13(4) and I still keep getting the same pop-up screen for a free download of a newer, speedier, more secure version of Firefox. I tried calling Mozilla Corporation in Mountain View, CA; but was unable to speak with anyone. I also got an 800 number (1-800-229-9895) from information and called that number. On the first 800 call the person hung-up. On the second call I spoke to Marv and supposedly got disconnected. On the third call I spoke to Marv again. He informed me that I couldn’t speak to anyone at Mozilla and had to pay $99 to get any help. He also told me that: if I tried to remove the extra Firefox downloads or tried to remove Firefox completely, my computer would crash. I can’t afford the $99 and don’t know what to do next. Can you help me. Jack (Phone number removed by mod).

As far as I know, Mozilla doesn't have any paid support service. There are lots of other companies that advertise paid support for desktop software including Firefox. Maybe you called one of those other providers??
Anyway, I suggest dragging all those exe files on your desktop to the recycle bin. They are all out of date.
Before upgrading, have you considered making a backup? Your bookmarks and other Firefox settings ''should'' be safe during an upgrade, but better safe than sorry. This article describes how you can back up: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. For example, you can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.
To get the latest Firefox, you can try either of these:
(1) Help > Check for Updates - this should work automatically
(2) Download the installer for Firefox 12 from http://www.mozilla.org/firefox (green button) to a convenient location, then double-click to launch it (Firefox needs to be closed)
After you see Firefox 12, the user interface will look different. For tips on how to restore features you miss from Firefox 3.6, you can ask questions here.

Animated .gif file correction and image ready help.

Hi,
I have an animated gif created in an early verison of Image Ready & Photoshop. I need to make some changes. I have two problems.
A: Can't figure how to do it in the current version of Photoshop.
B: Open in the old image ready version, can't find the Layers pallet. I turn it on and off and it doesn't appear.
Trying to recreate a rotating .gif file any pointers or how to's?
Thanks,
John

You didn't say which version of ImageReady, but cs5 should open
most animated gifs from ImageReady and show the frames in the
Window>Animation panel. Some may not work right depending on
how old the version of ImageReady was that created them.
(you may have to resave the animation in ImageReady as a psd file)
In ImageReady try Window>Workspace>Reset Palette Locations and the layers
palette should be visible.
In ImageReady, in the actions palette, are several actions to rotate (spin) images.

Adding animated gif to a still image, how do I do this?

I used to know how to do it, but I've forgotten.
Example: The person who told me how to do it had taken an animated gif (butterfly) and placed it on her breast in a still photo of herself. I know that she used Image Ready and as I recall, she created the same number of frames of the still image as the animated butterfly and then she somehow merged the two together. Can someone help, is there a tutorial somewhere? I'm using 7.0 by the way.
Thanks,
Ray
P.S. I also remember that it had something to do with linking the layers so that you just needed to place the first frame in the sequence and link all the other layers to it, but I'm totally lost now!

I don't believe that PS 7.0 supports animation, 'least I don't know how to use this function if it does. That is why I remember using Image Ready to do it. In Image Ready you can use any animated gif file to do what I want, I just can't remember how I did it. I do remember that I had to take my background image and duplicate it to get the same number of frames as the animated gif file, but I don't remember how I merged the two together. It had something to do with placing the first frame of the animated gif where I wanted it on my background and then using the link tool in the layer box to link them together, that way I didn't have to place each individual frame of the animation on to the background and avoid an alignment nightmare. I sure wish I would've taken notes!
Thank you for your suggestions.

Animated gif layered above background image

I have a static background image which is displayed in a JPanel. I need to display animated gifs at certain positions on the base image. For every new frame of the animation, the paint method is called whcih attempts to load the entire base image + all the new animated images which is extremely slow!. It also means the animated gif keeps on getting loaded, and seldom gets beyond the first frame.
Im sure many people have had to do something like this. Is the solution to draw the gifs on the glasspane (or use layered panes), and to have a seperate paint method? or is their a simple approach like setting a special clip area.

thanks for the help...
The size of the background image is approx 400*400 pixels (gif or jpg), and the icons are 25*25, and have between 1 and 6 frames.
Here comes the code... I havent finished with the mediatracker stuff, but youll get the idea Im sure.
public void paint(Graphics g) {
 MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker(this);
 tracker.addImage(image,0);
 try {tracker.waitForID(0);}
 catch (InterruptedException e){}
 g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, this); //draw background image (approx 400*400 pixels)
 int ICON_ID = -1;
 Image img;
 //draw all the icons...
 //all icons have between 1 and 6 frames. 25*25 pixels.
 for (int i = 0; i < icon_IDs.size(); i++) {
 try {
 ICON_ID = new Integer(icon_IDs.elementAt(i).toString()).intValue();
 Point p = dm.getIconPosition(ICON_ID);
 if (isAlarm(ICON_ID)) { //ITS AN ALARM - use animated gif
 img = getAlarmImage(ICON_ID);
 else //NORMAL ICON - no animation
 img = DataDefinition.getImageIcon(dm.getIconType(ICON_ID)).getImage();
 tracker.addImage(img,0);
 try {tracker.waitForID(0);}
 catch (InterruptedException e){}
 int width = DataDefinition.getSize(dm.getIconType(ICON_ID)).width;
 int height = DataDefinition.getSize(dm.getIconType(ICON_ID)).height;
 g.setClip(p.x, p.y, p.x+width, p.y+height);
 g.drawImage(img, p.x, p.y, p.x+width, p.y+height, 0,0,img.getWidth(this),img.getHeight(this),this);
 catch (SQLException sqle) {
 System.out.println("Could not find position of icon : " + ICON_ID);
}

Animated GIF as a background image on a C5-00?

Is there any way to get animated GIFs runnig as a background image on a C5-00? At the moment, it just shows a still picture....

Yes, Captivate 7. I'm re-working an old Dreamweaver HTML CBT program to bring it up to today's standards using Captivate. I previously had small cartoon hands pointing to the right or left to click to go to the next or previous slide.The pointing hands are static, but on rollover I had an animated gif of the pointing hand moving in the direction it pointed. I'm certain I can figure out a workaround, just wanted to see if there was a built-in way to have an animation be the 'over' state.

Animated Gif with large base image & small animated part.

Hello guys
I'm not really sure how to explain that, due to my limited English comprehansion. I will try with images.
I can easily create animated gif out of multiple layers, given each layer is identical, with small changes accuring over time.
But I yet to figure out an animated gif, that uses one large image for the base, and only small part of it is animated.
I always get the animated part working, without the large base applying across all the frames. All it does, is flashes once
the frame is reached and then moves on to being transparent, showing only the small animated part.
For example, this is a GIF made with Galaxy S4, of my friend playing with his phone, imported into PS CS6. On the Galaxy,
after I record the GIF, I can use my finder to touch, mask and freez parts I don't want to move, and leave only small, animated bit.
When I import it to PS, it shows one layer with full image, and bunch of frames with the animation part only.
http://i.imgur.com/UAiopQA.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/7XOGGV6.jpg
Problem is, once the image is open with PS, I'm not able to export it to keep it working in the same manner. Given the Samsung's
gifs are 8 to 10mb, it's hard to edit it, to make it more size friendly.
The gif clearly works the way I describe, so there is a setting or method I don't know about.
If PS is not best tool for editing GIF, what other apps would you recommand I use for it?
Thank you for the taking the time to read
best regards
Monica

This has been an ongoing issue for me since I switched from Powerpoint to Keynote. Most of the animated gifs with transparent backgrounds that I used with Powerpoint are no longer transparent in Keynote. You may want to search for those earlier threads on this topic...
To summarize: I've had to open up my animated gifs in After Effects and use the Color Key effect to restore transparency, with mixed success.
Good luck!

Mapquest sign in box does not appear in Firefox but does in Internet Explorer. Why? Have disabled add ons but no luck.

The sign in box does not show up on Mapquest when I use Firefox. If I use Internet Explorer, the sign in box appears. I disabled the Firefox add-ons thinking there might be a conflict but no luck. Mapquest support is at a dead end, too, especially with it working in IE but not in Firefox. Suggestions?

Can you post a link to that login page or is this a pop-up window?

Images load in internet explorer, not in firefox, why is this?

On the "AboutUs" page i also can't get the image to load in FF. I checked the html to see why and i just can't come up with an answers. I am sure it's an obvious answer. I've seen similar questions on this site but i can't find one that apply's to this particular issue. Any help is appreciated.
