Animation in Photoshop CS5 help

I recently got Photoshop CS5 and have made an animation.
Its 20.4MB with 92 frames and when I go to Save for Web & Devices and save the animation, an error comes up that says 'Could not complete this operation. There was not enough memory available'
I try to Save As... the animation as a CompuServe GIF but the image comes out flat
Is there any way I can make the file smaller so it can be saved as a GIF animation or how can I make this work?
Thanks

Of course GIF can save animations with multiple Frames which are represented by multiple layers in the document.  I don't think PNG can do animation at all, however.
Have you tried altering the amount of RAM you have allocated to Photoshop in the Edit - Preferences - Performance menu?

    I can no longer open up my Photoshop CS5 (not a trial)....Everytime I click to run it it gets to the startup screen and then just freezes. I have tried shutting my computer down, restarting but nothing is helping. Lightroom and Bridge open just fine? HELP

    That is your problem.  Disable it and see if it works well.  If so get updates to it and see it that fixes it.
    Hope this solves the problem.

  • Photoshop CS5 "Help" function not working - Adobe Air error message?

    Installed Photoshop CS5, and thought everything was working okay, but when I click on Photoshop Help, I get the error message "Adobe Air - This installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing......" I have re-installed first Adobe Air, same problem and then uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop CS5, but the problem remains. When I first tried to use the Help function it tried to update something and for some reason this failed. I'm wondering if others have seen the same problem and know of a solution? Thanks, David.

    Hello:  there may be a configuration issue going on here.  I have escalated this issue to our Help app engineering team. In the meanwhile, please try the following:
    Uninstall the Adobe Help application: go to your Application folder > Adobe > Adobe Help (drag it to the Trash)
    Delete the following directory:
    USER NAME (home) > Library > Preferences > chc.4875E02D9FB21EE389F73B8D1702B320485DF8CE.
    Empty the Trash
    Manually update the application via this link: http://www.adobe.com/support/chc/
    Select "Photoshop" in Step 1 and then click the Install badge in Step 2.  Make sure to select "Open" (and not Save) in the installation dialog box to fully update the app.
    Note: The previous instructions did not include deleting the old application or its preference file. This will help ensure that it is thoroughly updated.

  • Importing RAW from Canon 6D using LR3/Photoshop CS5 - help!

    I'm using light room 3 and Photoshop/bridge CS5.
    I just got a new camera – a Canon 6D and none of the programs will read the files. It is indicated I need a new plug-in to support the camera – camera raw plug-in/supported cameras indicates a 60 is supported.
    I found a support patch and downloaded: DNGConverter_7_3.exe.part and the application file:DNGConverter_7_3 (the application file size is indicated as 0 kB)
    Neither Program Will Run under Windows 7 and I still can't open any of the raw files from my Canon 6D camera.
    Any Suggestions?

    The EOS 6D was first supported in Camera Raw 7.3 and Lightroom 4.3
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Camera Raw 7.3 is only compatible with Photoshop CS6 and higher. It is not compatible with CS5

  • Apple kidnapped my Photoshop CS5 Help Menu

    Hi,
    I've taken a break from using my CS5 Photoshop program and was needing help editing text, so I clicked on "Help" like I did when I was taking a class in Photoshop last year. All the Help Menu brings up now are things related to my Apple computer. I know a call to Apple Care will result in something like, "We don't troubleshoot Adobe products," so I'm wondering if anybody knows where my Photoshop Help Menu topics disappeared to.
    Did I only have them for a year? Did the Help Menu expire? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    No an actual solution for the issue, but you could just download the pdf-version.

    Please someone help me!
    Here is a screenshot.
    Thanks!

  • Photoshop CS5 Help doesn't work

    I just installed Master Collection CS5 today.
    I discovered that the keyboard shortcuts for changing Brush Hardness (Ctrl-Option-Cmd) now activates something else.
    First thing I did was goto Photoshop Help, just to find out that the fancy new Air Help app doesn't work. It says something like "this installation is damaged, reinstall or call adobe."
    Well I put the disc back in and there's no option in install the Help app.
    So...  I have no Help now. Any ideas?

    Make Layer 3 active and select all (Ctrl-A) and copy it (Ctrl-C).
    Alt-click on the empty mask thumbnail, that will give you a white work area.
    Click on it and paste (Ctrl-V).

  • Missing the Index:  Photoshop CS5 Help Documentation (photoshop_cs5_help.pdf)

    I have downloaded and use the Photoshop help PDF (photoshop_cs5_help.pdf) fairly extensively, but it's missing one key element: the index.  The index, of course, is invaluable when trying to search for a solution to a problem.  The previous PDF for cs4 had an index.  I'm wondering if the index is under development - or, heaven forbid, if it's being eliminated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Ron,
    I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the Product Marketing Manager gave up the Index, if he fought for us end users at all? I cannot imagine with such a complex product why they would scrap it! Cost savings is my guess. My vote would have been to leave out a new feature or two and leave the index in.

  • Photoshop CS5 HELP- batch processing/ actions

    For work i have to put a watermark on 300+ images. Ive created the action to add a watermark. But everytime i try to run the batch it tells me "move is not currently available" "Transform is not currently available"  So nothing then happens to the file.  Please help. thank you.

    With a Path selected in the Paths Panel it can be included into an Action via »Insert Path« from the Actions Panel’s fly-out menu.
    You can then use the Path as a Vector Mask for a Solid Color Layer for example.
    Transformation should be applicable to that – could you post a screenshot of the Action’s steps?

  • Can't access HELP in Photoshop CS5

    When I click on Help in Photoshop CS5 (installed yesterday), I recieve a popup message from Adobe Community  Help saying "The requested page requires an Internet connection," and I cannot do anything with the Help screen.
    I have an Internet connection.  In fact, if I open my Photoshop CS4 program, I can access the Community Help, it opens IE to the online help page for Photoshop CS4, where in the lower right-hand corner there is a yellow box with a link to CS5 help which if I click on it produces the Photoshop CS5 Help page.
    So why can't I access HELP from CS5 Photoshop directly,and how do I tell CS5 that I have an Internet connection.
    As a side note, this is also a problem with Illustrator CS5.

    The problem is solved.
    I went and found the executable for Community Help.  It is Adobe Help.exe.  I then ran it and received the following message: To access or download help, connect to the Internet or deselect “Display Local Help Contents only” in Preferences.
    Well, I could not find any such thing in Photoshop preferences. It then dawned on me that I should be looking in the preferences of Community Help.  And there it was—the option to display local content only.  However, it was set to no, so I should be seeing help from the Internet.
    That is when the previous remark about the firewall came back to me, and I realized that what was needed was to open the firewall for Adobe Help.exe and not for Photoshop.
    Thanks for your assistance

  • Photoshop CS5, animated gif, how to add url to 1 frame.

    I have created an animated gif in Photoshop CS5 and want to embed a url to one of the 3 frames.
    How do I do this?
    I've read that I can use the slice tool to do this (?), but if so, I need help in laymans language as to how to do this.
    The animated gif is for a website on a wordpress platform. When this particular frame is clicked, it should link to the url which I want to add.
    Please help!
    Thank you.

    Whoops, sorry put this in the lightroom forum by mistake. Will post it in the PS CS5.

  • Creating animated gif's in Photoshop CS5

    I have created identical images in both Photoshop & .gif versions and can't get any of them to work
    The images are saved in an 8 bit  format. There are 8 layers.  the largest version is 761px 760px. 
    When I get the dialog box for "save for web," no matter which version of the images I try, the animation choices are greyed out.  I do not see a check box for "animate" like there is in my Elements 10 dialog box on another system.  What do need to do to be able to save as an animation?

    You need to ensure it's an animation in Photoshop's eyes.
    An animated document is generally maintained with the frames in separate layers.  For example, if you open an animated GIF, it may open each frame into a layer.
    Make the Timeline panel visible (Window - Timeline).
    If the animation doesn't show there, you may need to click the fly-out menu icon at the upper-right corner of the Timeline panel and choose Make Frames from Layers.
    -Noel
    Edit:  Sorry, you said Photoshop CS5.  In that version it's the Animation panel.  Same panel, but renamed in Photoshop CS6 to Timeline.
