Gifs and Image Ready - CS4

Hello there,
I am user of Photoshop CS4!
And I recently tryed to open an animated gif File.
Photoshop tells me it can´t open all frames.
And this is where the Problem is.
Fortunatly, i have CS2 on a seperate computer aswell.
So I decided to open that very same gif File in Imageready, and then put it back into Photoshop.
What a suprise those frames are back!
WOW! But whats wrong with CS4? Can´t I do this with CS4?
There must be a way to get the Job done without using another old computer with old software on it.
Like adding the extract Filter in CS4 from CS3 just by placing a little file in the presets folder. ;-)
I´ll be realy happy if you have any suggestions.
Regeards,

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.

How Do I Change an Animated Gif's Iteration and Loop Settings? (Pshop/Image Ready 7.0)

Background to Issue (NOT a PPT or Windows issue even though It will seem like that at first but read on...): I have to make Animated GIFS to be inserted into Powerpoint. I work on a Mac but the PPT presentation will be shown on PCs (non-negotiable, since I can't ask hundreds of sales reps who will be using this to install an outdated version of PPT). I already learned that I need to insert the Gifs while working on a PC or else it won't work). Fair enough- I can put it together on a PC, again not the issue. BUT, when I do THAT, the gifs still wn't animate unless I am in PPT 2002. Fair enough (Microsif going backwards not a surprise) So it won't work in PPT 2003 which is what the users will all have. But I need to get the presentation to them asap! I got a bit further in researching and found out that the solution is that I need to set my "Loop Flag" and "Iteration Settings" appropriately. See this link (http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/animated_gifs/gifs.htm)
BUT I am trying to find out if one can do this already somehow in Mac Photoshop 7.0 or Mac Image Ready 7.0, where I made the gif and would prefer to keep making my gifs. Maybe I need to upgrade Image Ready or Pshop to CS? SO THE FINAL QUESTION IS: Is there another way to manual do this without this PC Plug-in?
NOTE: Yes, I know how how to set the loop to "once" or "forever" in Image Ready when I make my Gifs but apparently I need to do this somewhere else...where the iteration setting lives too?

There is an ImageAnimator so you may not need to use byte array instead.

Getting photoshop cs4 to work like image ready cs2 did for web - help :)

maybe one day i'll be able to come on here and give someone some help
ok im pretty new to using cs4 photoshop and i was quite comfortable in using cs2 with the swith over to image ready when doing slices and rollovers etc,
i have seen various people saying that image ready is no longer, i was just wondering if someone could give me a dummies guide to doing the same tricks on cs4
im looking to make slices, i can see the slices tool but i cant see how you go about doing rollovers and what not for links, im a beginner in doing web sites so im not into the coding yet
what i would normally have done in cs2 is -
do my web page layouts, everything except content,
do my links and rollovers on every page of my site then transfer over to dreamweaver, adding all my website content and linking the pages together
can anyone please help
thank you so much in advance

Getting Colour and Visual Consistency in a Multi-gif/jpg Image

Hi All,
I'm frequently creating .gif and .jpg images for web ads and these have to be within a strict 40KB size limit which is often tricky for larger formats. Now a new 'fireplace' format has been created that is an ad that is an image frame around the sides and top of a web page, consisting of two vertical pieces each side of the page and a horizontal bar along the top that links both the side pieces into a single seamless image. This means that I have to create three separate image files, each of which has to be less than 40KB and because each of these pieces is also quite large I will have to carefully adjust the images settings in 'Save for Web and Devices' to get the file size within this limit. My main problem, however, is how do I do that whilst ensuring that the visual consistency between the images is such that it isn't noticable where the three separate pieces join?
For example, if the side pieces have radically different style and colour of content to each other and the top part, saving these as separate .gif files could result in each file having a different indexed colour palette and number of colours etc, making the separate pieces look visually different and the places where they join look really obvious and clumsy.
What steps do I take to keep within the file size for the images whilst keeping the images looking seamlessly consistent? This isn't as much of a problem in .jpg but there may be times when using .gif is more efficient - is there a way to save an indexed colour palette for .gif and apply it across multiple files? Any tips on handling files like this would be very helpful.
The master file is created as a single image in Photoshop CS4 and later split into three files which are saved as .gif or .jpg.
Any help would be appreciated!

What about using slices which can be previewed all at once in Save for Web?

Exporting "CSS and images (.htm.)" from Fireworks CS4?

Is this an effective process for developing CSS based layouts? Are there any proven tricks to improve the quality of the resulting structure?

It's a starting point, but it does not exempt you from understanding
XHTML and CSS. Currently there are some limitations to what the script
will export: it ignores additional states, javascript behaviors and
won't export more than 1 page at a time. Keep in mind this is just the
"first kick" and we'll no doubt see this feature embellished.
I recommend that you download and read about the updated CSS and
Images export script, modified by Matt Stow. You can find the new
script and his article here:

The article also provides some tips on how to best plan your designs
if you plan to use the script.

Help- how do I make images ready for web gallery??

Hi,
I am trying to create a photo gallery of images within Bridge using the Adobe Web Gallery feature. I have the images I want to use in a folder.What steps do I need to take to get the images saved in the correct format and file size? Also, what files sizes do you recommend for a web gallery? I need to make medium to large thumbnails & large images (when clicked). Here's what I am thinking I need in terms of getting this right:
use Adobe Photoshop/Bridge to create the gallery
jpg for photos
gif for solid colors
file size under 2MB (full image), under 20-30K for (thumbnails), total size of all images under 50K (no more than 50 sec. to download)
screen size: 984x728
screen resolution: 72dpi
If you could help me in any way, shape or form concerning making my images ready for a web gallery that would be most helpful. And if you can refer me to any resources on making a web gallery that'd be awesome. Thank you!

Compatibility with Adobe Image Ready ver. 7.0

I installed Leopard (10.5.2) and now Adobe Image Ready 7.0 (IR7) no longer launches. When I click on it to launch it the splash screen appears and the last thing it shows is "starting plugins" then the screen disappears but Image Ready is NOT loaded.
I realize that IR7 is rather old. I can't even find it listed on Adobe's support website!
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to get IR7 working again under Leopard? (Worked fine in Tiger 10.4.x.)
If I can't resuscitate IR7 then I need another program that shows you what an jpg or gif will look like at different qualities before saving it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Try GraphicConverter - VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Adobe's ImageReady has been discontinued. Most of its features have been built into Photoshop CS3.

Why did adobe vanish the Adobe Image ready from their package?

There used to be a a software called Adobe Image ready in the Adobe suite. it really made small animation and web animation very easy with the facility of main frame and time line . But I am a bit confused why did adobe remove it from the new suites? What should I use instead?

Help with image ready on ps3 extended

I am pretty new to photo shop and have cs3 extended.
I have a Yorkie website where I cut out my Yorkies and paste them to differnet backgrounds.... a lady that does the ANIMATED pictures HAS DID A COUPLE FOR ME ....BUT I NEED TO LEARN TO DO THIS MYSELF. She will not tell folks how to do:)
The problem is once you work with a pic that is animated already then try to add a dog.....by pasting....it removes the animation in the background pic.... and the picture no longer moves once the dog is added ?....She said she puts thru IMAGE READY...which I do not see anywhere on CS3 extended. I will try to insert a pic she did for me and any help would be greatly appreciated....as I can do but then the picture is no longer animated once altered in my photoshop but she is doing somehow.....so has to be poss ? If I were to do this pic it would stop moving once the dogs were added....plus not as good as her but practicing........could it be the fact she is doing in layers and I am doing copy and paste...I do know she puts thru Image ready and I do not know where this is located on cs3 extended or how to do?
am

Subject: Re: Help with image ready on ps3 extended
I'm not sure anyone mentioned this but if not to open GIFs using the import you have to enter the GIF name as GIF isn't listed as one of the options.
It sounds like you are viewing the images in a maximized screen mode. To view more than one document, press F to cycle through the screen modes. FYI, only the contents of the currently selected document can be viewed in the layers palette.
I'll just talk about copy/paste so as not to confuse...
If you are going to copy/paste, click the frame around the dog document to target it. Your layers palette will now contain the contents of the dog document. Click on the layer in the layers palette with the selected dog over transparency. With that layer highlighted in your layers palette, press Ctrl A; then Ctrl C. (Select<Select All; Edit<copy if you prefer using the menu.) This will copy that layer into your clipboard.
Next, click the frame of the document containing the animation. Click the topmost layer in the layers palette because we want you dog to be in the top layer. Press Ctrl + V. (Edit<Paste if you prefer using the menu).
Your dog is most likely going to be too big. Use Edit<Free Transform to size and move the dog to the desired location.
At this point, your dog should be showing in each frame in the animation palette.
Example:
http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/25315/with-palettes-open.jpg
I'm using the older Image Ready me method. The highlighted place in the palette is where you switch methods between the old method and the new timeline. Notice, I have the layers and animation palette both in the workspace...and I'm not in a maximized mode. The red arrow shows the correlation between the frame and the layer represented by it in the layers palette.
Image:second-image.jpg
Here I have a second image to slip into my animation. I have the creature selected and on it's own layer with transparency around it. Notice that the the layer with the isolated creature is highlighted. At this stage, I'll press Ctrl + A; then Ctrl + C to select and save this image to my clipboard.
Image:creature-added.jpg
Here, I've pasted (Ctrl + V or Edit<Paste) in my creature and resized it (Ctrl + T or Edit<free transform) so he can be jumped. I also added a shadow under my creature which I added to a layer under my creature. Notice that when Frame on is selected in the animation palette that the eye is on both the creature and the shadow. If I click the eye to turn them (creature and shadow layer) off, they disappear from the entire animation. I can make them appear at any frame by clicking the desired frame in the animation then turning on the eye icon for the creature and shadow layer in the layers palette. I can also adjust opacity if desired.
You could even more than the one image if you want the dog to appear to move. Use the eyeball visibility to determine which pose will be used for that frame.
Example:
Image:jump-creature-gif.gif
Here, I used transform warp to adjust the pose of the creature for a few frames as he's jumping the creature...just for fun.

Firefox 4.0: Improper handling of Animated Gif background-image

FF 4.0 is giving erratic and incorrect displays of an animated gif on a project I am working on. I have prepared a very small sample that demonstrates the problem.
The problem occurs when an animated gif is used as the background-image for a div (it may also be true when used as a background-image for the body, but I have not tested that).
When a page is first loaded, the animated gif displays properly.
I would expect that the animation be displayed as animated either:
# On each page load
# On a page load with new session or when the image is removed from cache prior to loading the page. Otherwise the last frame of the image would show
The sample page is designed to test this.
IE: Behaved as in #1, i.e. the image was animated on each and every page load. (IE 8: 8.0.6001....)
Google Chrome: Behaved as in #2, i.e. the image is animated only when there is a new session or when the image is no longer in cache. (Version 10.0.648.204)
FF 3.6.8: Slightly strange, but acceptable.
* The image is animated on new session and on any reload button.
* The last frame is displayed if the location is reentered in the URL bar.
* The last frame is displayed if the back/forward navigation buttons are used.
* SOMETIMES the image is animated and sometimes the last frame is displayed when the change page button is pressed (i.e. Javascript change page).
FF 4.0: Just plain NOT acceptable
* Correctly animates the image on page load for new session
* Correctly animates the image on reload button following clearing the image from cache.
* INCORRECTLY shows the FIRST gif frame if the reload button is pressed.
* INCORRECTLY shows the FIRST gif frame if the URL is reentered from the URL bar.
* INCORRECTLY shows the FIRST gif frame if the page change button is pressed (i.e. Javascript change page).
* INCORRECTLY shows the FIRST gif frame if theURL is reentered from the URL bar after clearing the image from cache.
* INCORRECTLY shows the FIRST gif frame if the page change button is pressed (i.e. Javascript change page) after clearing the item from cache.
All of these tests were run with Windows XP-Pro (all service packs and updates applied).
I can find no clear specification as to what ''should'' happen with pages using animated gifs that are already loaded.
* I can conceive of rationales for always displaying with animation.
* I can also conceive of rationales for sometimes displaying the last frame, especially if the same page is being reloaded since many sites reload the same page in response to user form submissions.
# '''I can see no rationale for displaying the first frame of the gif and would suggest that this is a bug. '''

Can be this bug:
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641198 Bug 641198] – Rollover animated gif show only one frame.
You can try these nightly test builds to see if they behave better:
Fx5.0 ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora
Fx6.0 ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central
Create a new profile exclusively for each Firefox version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.
