Making animated gifs in Photoshop Elements 11

Is there a way to color and/or adjust the lighting on all of the frames/layers of a gif at one time?
I've been trying to adjust the brightness of a twenty-layer gif, but it's a pain in the butt to have to go through each layer and try to match the same brightness and contrast with the other layers. I know you can select all the layers and then adjust it but when I tried doing that then animating it in the preview, the colors and lighting disappeared and it reverted back to the original gif.
PS- I'm very new to Photoshop, so please don't hurt me.

Operating system? and how are you opening it? From a shortcut, from the welcome screen, from the organizer, from the program/application file itself?

I am trying to create a simple animated gif in Photoshop. I've set up my frames and want to use the tween to make the transitions less jerky. When I tween between frame 1 and frame 2 the object in frame two goes out of position, appearing in a different place than where it is on frame 2. Confused!

Hi Melissa - thanks for your interest. Here's the first frame, the second frame and the tween frame. I don't understand why the tween is changing the position of the object in frame 2, was expecting it to just fade from one frame to the next.

Can I create an animated gif in photoshop touch?

How can I save the various layers in a project into an animated gif? Photoshop Touch doesn't appear to have the same functioality, or is it just differently set up?

We are not the right people to ask. The Touch forum (for tablet) is at
Adobe Photoshop Touch for tablet
There's a long list f video tutorials here, but I can't see anything about animation

Animated gif in photoshop

Hi
I'm running Photoshop 7 on a MacBook Pro. I previously used photoshop on a PC.
I created an animation using layers, and saved it as an optimised gif. However, when I tired to upload it to MySpace it would load: error message said it was an unsupported format.
I didn't have this problem before on the PC - any ideas what is different or how I can fix it?
THanks

Hi, my apologies if that sounded condescending. Indeed I'm getting the same error as you do when trying to upload animated gif files created in either PS CS2 or IR CS2. I don't know what this site's problem is, because my gifs run in any browser. I have found that myspace accepts a gif file only when I open it in Safari and drag it from the browser window to the desktop first. Go figure.
I know it's annoying to have to open every gif file in Safari and drag it from the browser to the desktop, but at least it works this way.
It might just be some optimization setting in IR, although I wouldn't know what.
Good luck

Import animated GIF from Photoshop?

I have a question... I am unable to create custom animated gif's in Photoshop 5/6 and import them into Captivate 7. It just says "The GIF file contains errors". I've tried exporting on multiple settings and still no luck, same with exporting from Fireworks.
I am however able to import an exported gif from Flash, yet the quality is horrible and the transparency is buggy. Is anyone else having this issue, or is there some setting that I am missing? Basically I need to animate some images within a Captivate project, without the need of using a .SWF (for HTML5 output). Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

I experienced this issue with Captivate 8 and Photoshop CC...
I eventually realized if the animation has any frames with "no delay" I would get the error. Changing those frames to a 0.1 second delay resolved my issue. Not sure if this is the same bug you are experiencing but it's worth a try!

How to create animated gif`s on elements 5?

Hi,
I created few layers and in that made a box which will go from top to bottom.
Now I keep all my layers visible and then select file > save for web and then nothing happens.
I also tried file > save as > and tried saving the file in gif and in the save option selected save layers as frames. And then clicked on save. Then also nothing happens, the file is also not saved.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thank you in advance

Edit: First make sure you are in a Administrator account. If on Windows Vista, also make sure you have Elements set up to "Run as Administrator".
Edit: If on a Mac, read "To make Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac "Save For Web" work" second post on this page:
http://www.smmug.org/index.php?q=node/493
Check if it works before going to next step.
The "Save For Web" dialog box could be off screen. Try resetting the "Save For Web" preference file.
If you are on Windows, press and hold in the ctrl + alt keys as you go through the file menu and select File<Save For Web. A dialog will come up asking something to the effect of do you want to delete your "Save For Web Preference files". Click "OK".
If you are on Mac, do the same as above except your shortcut keys will be cmd + opt.
Check if it works before going to next step.
If the above doesn't work, reset your application preference files, press and hold in the ctrl + shift + alt keys when you launch the editor. Do not release these three keys. A dialog will come up saying something to the effects of "Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings file?". You can release the three keys once this dialog comes up. Click "Okay."
If you have a Mac, follow the above directions except the shortcut will be cmd + shift + opt.

Creating animated GIF using Photoshop Scripting

Hi,
I am trying to mimic the action "Save for Web & Devices" of a PSD file, having 4 frames in an animation, into an animated GIF file.
I was suggested to use "ScriptingListener", but I did the copy/paste of the code, it did not work.
Is there a way to code a script, by using classes/functions to achieve this result ?
Thank you in advance.
Jean-Louis

Yes that's my understanding for Javascript, with clarification that with "compile them all into animated GIF through script" using some external program (e.g. check out ImageMagick). Whether that is an OK solution depends on what you are trying to do (just for own internal use or distribution).
For the Javascript docs see http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/photoshop/pdfs/photoshop-cc-javascr ipt-ref.pdf

Animated GIF in Photoshop CS5

I want to have my website and phone number rotating on the x-axis as an animated GIF. Is there a simple way to do this in Photoshop that I'm just missing?
I'd like to be able to insert the GIF in a movie project I've started in Sony Vegas.
Thanks!

Dupe the layer transforming it with a little rotation. Keep repeating this transform and dupe I think the scortcut Ctrl+Alt+shift+T will do that. then use f11 to open the animation palette use its fly-out menu item make frames from layers and the save a animated gif using save for web and devices.

Are there any tutorials on making animated gifs in flash, from a video?

I have an avi video file that i'd like to make into an animated gif in flash. How do I go about doing this? I know there is an option in photoshop where you can import the video frames onto layers. Is there something similar in flash?

Trouble creating an animated gif in Photoshop

Hello. I am having trouble creating a gif in Photoshop (using still images). I get as far as the step where you click the dropdown menu on the top right of the timeline screen (following multiple online tutorials) and don't see the option to "create new layer for each new frame". I get completely different options and none of them seem to be right. I am using Photoshop CC 2014 and am completely udated. Can anyone HELP?
Here is an example of a tutorial I followed (many say the same thing)
I get stuck at step 5:

Here is a screenshot of what I see, Argh!!!
Can anyone help? Thank you in advance!

With a document open in Photoshop CC 2014 use menu Window>Timeline to display the Timeline palette. In it you will see a button with a pull-down menu in the center. The button can create a Frame Animation timeline or a Video Timeline. You want to create an Frame animation. The Palette also has a fly-out menu opened by clicking the little down pointing triangle in its upper right corner. There are some useful options in it. For example you can create two frames from some layers you have then have Photoshop create frames between them using the tween option. Then save out a PSD, a Animated Gif and render a MP4.

Animation Gif sur Photoshop CS6, problème export.

Bonjour,
J'ai réalisé une animation en gif sur Photoshop CS6.
Lorsque je fais "Enregistrer pour le web", je visualise l'animation en cliquant sur Play en bas à droit de la fenêtre et je m'apperçoit que le rendu ne correspond pas à l'animation réalisée dans ma timeline.
Il me manque des séquences...
Merci pour votre aide,
Cordialement,
Tristan

Ok, je comprends mieux.
Une fonction sur laquelle je ne m'étais pas attardé (assez, visiblement), c'est donc l'export en gif animé, qui marche très bien sur l'animation, mais pas du tout sur l'opacité, les effets de style et par extension, les transitions. En gros, les mouvements sont conservés, mais vous n'aurez pas accès à tout le reste.
Comment résoudre ce problème :
Menu Fichier > Exporter > rendu vidéo et sortir une séquence d'image (pas Adobe Media Encoder) au format PNG (et bien penser à la ranger dans un sous-dossier)
puis
Menu Fichier > Ouvrir > Séquence d'image, en sélectionnant une des images du dernier sous dossier.
Enfin
Menu Fichier > Enregistrer pour le web… et là exporter en gif.
Ça mériterait d'être scripté, mais pour résoudre votre problème du jour, ça fera l'affaire
PS : j'ai bien entendu tenté de convertir en animation d'image sans succès, au moins, là, le rendu figé est directement visible.

I can't make an animated gif in photoshop cs5

i followed every step of this tutorial : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKrjTtgJUbE
it worked with a lot of people , but when i did it , it looked like this : http://postimg.org/image/h9gzhiuln/ !!!
it's really annoying , i imported a video (mp4) from a movie and it looked like this , the frames are only two , one of them is white and the other one is black .
i searched a lot about this problem but no one seems to have it but me !

I don't have the time to watch a video tutorial just to try to understand the context of your issue, but I'll offer this bit of wisdom...
If you're attempting to make an animated GIF from a multi-layer document, there's a key menu item you need to exercise:
Hope this helps.

Need Help creating an animated GIF in Photoshop CS6 Trail version

Everyone,
I am new to PS6 and reating animated GIF's and would like to get some guidance. I am trying
to put the following animation together and very confused when I try to get the section and also
how to add new things to it. I am running the trial version of PS CS6 on a WIndoes 7 environment.
Trying to ensure that I can do the things I want prior to puchasing the product.
The following is what I want to do:
1.     With the logo, have it be as if there is a spotlight moving back and forth at medium speed,
       shining on the logo. Wherever the light hits, have that section sparkle. That will be exquisite.
2.     Have the "CLICK HERE," words alternate starkly (not blending) between white and pumpkin orange.
       Again, medium speed. That will be garish, but is okay because it's not part of the designed section.
The file is attached. I am having trouble trying to select just the "CLICK HERE" portion of the
logo to have the words alternating color. I cannot figure out how to get a spotlight function to this logo.
Then how to have it sparkle when the spotlight hits the other section of the logo and not have the
spotlight going over to the "Click Here" part of the logo.
I could really use some direction on this and would appreciate it greatly. Thanx in advance.
Jerry

The banner does not have to be this large. Here is a link to using the spotlight with sparkles:
http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-5012713-285076/371-194/bannerA nimTest2.gif
Also, the spotlight should be just over the "CLICK HERE" section. If the spotlight could apply in the diameter to the whole text of "Click Here". and use the sparkles,
that would be great and then I can break it out and see how it is done. Again, it does not have to be this large, maybe a little larger the the size of the first one I posted
would be good. Then how would I get it to a jpg and gif file? Thanx in advance.

Making a book in Photoshop Elements

I read that Photoshop uses Shutterfly to print books; I am in New Zealand, do I have access to the same service as I couldn't find anywhere in Elements to do this?
Secondly, my book pages start with a title page which I presume is for the inside. I want to print a cover for the book also, do I need to do this separately?

If you have a CREATE button in elements, then choose photobooks. If you have a Shutterfly option, you will find it there. If not, no problem. On the Shutterfly website they provide blank templates for each size book. Follow the templates to create your own pages. They also provide templates for the cover, spine, and backcover. Otherwise, you can use the Shutterfly serviceand upload your pictures to Shutterfly and create your book there.

Edit animated gif

Hi,
How can I edit an animated gif in Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac?
When I open the file there is just the first frame in one layer - no other layers available.
Thanks!

Thanks Barbara!

... then bring it to PSE.
I can't drag the single frames from Preview to PSE, because PSE 6 doesn't run in window mode.
(Is this improved in the current version?)
I can only drag the single frames to the desktop (as TIFF files, I guess transparency info is lost then?).
Barbara B. wrote:
... there's a bug beginning in PSE 6 where you can't change the frame delay rate from the default when you save an animated gif.
What's the default frame delay rate? Maybe it's just what I need.

You might want to look into a free program like giffun from stone.com instead.
Yes that's maybe a better idea. It doesn't have to be free software. Can you recommend something good?
Thanks again!
