Problem saving as a gif.

Hey everyone.
I am trying to make a signature for online forums. I have
made it how I want it, so I go publish it as a .Gif file. I go to
view the .gif file, and it comes out distorted and with blue lines
in places where they shouldn't be. Just wondering what could be
wrong?
Thanks in advance.

I used this one, very good

  • Problem Saving Gererating GIF Image

    Hello, we are having a problem in production environment when try to right mouse and select Print on an mii grid. Works just fine in all of our non-production environments. Checked the System Security pull downs and they all matched non-prod. Was not sure which one to compare, was not a ImageStorageServlet on pull down menu.
    After right mouse and select Print on grid, get:
    -Java Applet Window popup message - Problem Saving Gererating GIF Image
    -Then - blank browser page - .../XMII/ImageStorageServlet/View/null
    - Non-production servers works fine produces grid on browser page - XMII/ImageStorageServlet/View/2084280301
    NetWeaver Log:
    Location - com.sap.xmii.servlet.ImageStorageServlet

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    David,
    Have you put in a support ticket for this? I recommend doing so since its occurring in your production environment. You should also attach your log files as well.

  • I have a problem with an animated gif.

    I have a problem with an animated gif. When I use text in the
    flash file the gifs text is all messed up. The text was white in
    the flash file but in the gif all the white is splodged all over
    where the text was supposed to be and is totally inelegable.

    OK I found a way around this problem... I delete all the text
    that I had created within Flash and recreated it in Photoshop. I
    rasterized the type in Photoshop the I saved the files as PSD. I
    then went in to Flash and imported them to the library. I place the
    images of the text where they had originally been in my Flash file.
    When I published it as an animated GIF the file was perfect... No
    Black or White blocks...
    SO you might try that... I'm not sure what Flash changed, but
    I used to create text for animiated gif before without any
    problems...

  • Problem in loading animated gif

    I have problem in loading animated gif with ClassLoader. Here is the code:
    ClassLoader loader=this.getClass().getClassLoader();
    URL res = loader.getResource(name);
    if (res!=null) {
    ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(res);
    if (icon != null) {
    Image image = icon.getImage();
    if(icon.getImageLoadStatus() == MediaTracker.COMPLETE)
    images.put(name,image);
    return (Image) image;
    } else {
    System.out.println("Failed to load "+name+" error "+icon.getImageLoadStatus());
    images.put(name,"");
    Only when the gif is an animated gif, I get error message: Failed to load and icon.getImageLoadStatus() returns 2. Otherwise, it works.
    Anyone encounters the same problem as me?

    I think the problem is the asynchronous loading of the gif.
    when you call f(icon.getImageLoadStatus() == MediaTracker.COMPLETE)
    I think it is comming back MediaTracker.LOADING .
    for an animated gif, it may not come back COMPLETE until after running thru
    the whole automation. instead you could just check:
    (icon.getImageLoadStatus() != MediaTracker.ERRORED)

  • Having a problem saving the graphics on a canvas.

    I'm having a problem saving graphics on a canvas. It draws on the canvas but when another window comes up the graphics disappear. I put in a method to take the graphics on the canvas and repaint it with the graphics. But this comes up blank. So I don't know why this is happening. It is probably the paint method but I don't know why. If anyone has any ideas could you please respond because I have had this problem for ages now and it's driving me mad and I have to get this finished or I'm going to be a lot of trouble. I'll show you the code for the class I am concerned with. It is long but most of it can be disregarded. The only parts which are relevent are the paint method and where the drawline e.t.c are called which is in the mouse release

  • When bookmark with Firefox I get an error message that Google has a problem saving the bookmark. Whay are FF bookmarks being saved to Google?

    I used to be able to save bookmarks in Firefox. Now when I save a bookmark there is an error message that Google is having a problem saving the bookmark. Does this mean saving to Google or Firefox? When I look roe the saved bookmark it is Google.
    Also when I save the bookmark i do not get the option to save it to a folder-- I can only tag it

  • Problem Saving Files CS5

    After years of no problems I am suddenly having a problem saving files.  This started with CS4 a few months ago, and has continued with CS5.
    When I attempt to Save As... I get an error message:
         Could not save as "{location & filename}" because the file is already in use or was left open by another application.
    The only place the file could be considered "in use" or "left open" would be due to Bridge.
    I get this error message whether saving as jpg, psd or any other file type.  If I retry saving the file then it will usually save properly after several attempts.  But if I close Bridge then it will save the first time every time.  I get the same error whether saving as the original file name or with a new name.
    I have been using Bridge to preview and select the images I want to edit for a very long time.  But this problem didn't start showing up until a short time ago, so I wonder about a problem introduced with an update??    Those who use Bridge know that it remains running in the background while the image is processed through Camera RAW and PS.  There has never been a reason to close Bridge when working in PS and it is not very convenient to do so just to save a file.
    If anyone has a solution to this I would like to hear about it.
    Thanks,

    Hi Jimcarke,
    My problem is very similar. Just Upgraded to CS5 from CS4.
    Graphic files, no problem.  I can save 80Mb and 30 layered mixed graphic files, even after editing.
    No JPEG's in the stack though. Perhaps I'll have a look at that!
    With simple JPEG's at 1.9mb, after editing, then as soon as I enter 'Save As,' Bingo the great blank screen'
    Problem seems worse if I get as far as rotating the image, then everything disappears instantly.
    Customer services have suggested all the usual remedies and now I can't open a file or edit anything
    I'm back to the insufficient RAM issue.
    I've just 'given up' and back to CS4 again and will try to get some work done for the morning.
    All good fun and an interesting way to spend a very sunny Sunday afternoon. (GB)
    Regards
    John

  • There was a problem saving your PowerPivot Document

    Version Information:
    Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013
    Microsoft Office PowerPivot for Excel 2013
    The Problem:
    When I save my PowerPivot Excel document, I receive this error.  Eventually the document saves and closes.  When I open the document and make a change - I save again, and get the error back.  If I make no changes, and save, I don't get the
    error.
    Any ideas will help.
    Error Message:
    "There was a problem saving your PopwerPivot deocument.  Some of your work may  not have saved properly.  Please try saving again."
    <Details>:
    ============================
    Error Message:
    ============================
    Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

    Call Stack:

    ============================

    I am getting the same error while saving PowerPivot in excel 2013. I tried to create a new model from scratch but its strange that I am getting the same error message.
    The error appears as soon as I import data from SQL into PowerPivot.

  • Intermittent problem saving a pdf form

    I have created a 17 page PDF form in LiveCycle Es with many dynamic features, such as adding or subtracting more lines to a table.  The whole document is about 700KB ( 800 after being partially filled in) in size.  I put fillable password protection on it and ran it thru Adobe Extension, checking Basic Fill-in and Final. 
    Most users are happy with it except two people are having problems saving it to their computer.  Both downloaded it from Firefox to their computers, then opened it and began typing.  Sometimes they are able to save their work and other times not.  One was able to do a Save As and rename it, but that didn't even work for the other.  One was getting an error message saying to the effect that the volume for the file was externally altered and cannot be saved.
    They are both using Reader 8 or 9 and one has Vista while the other has XP.  I have downloaded the form at work and at home and cannot duplicate their problem so I suspect the problem is at their end.
    Any ideas of what could be causing this?

    I think have a similar question as you answered here.  But I want to just make sure I am understanding your response.
    I have created a PDF form in LiveCycle and saved it as an Adobe Static PDF form.  When I supply this form to my users.  The only way they can fill it out and save it is they must have Adode ACROBAT.   The free Adobe Reader will not allow a user to fill out the form and then save it electronically.    They can only fill out the form in Reader and then print it out. Is this correct?
    So any one I want to fill out the form and save it electronically will need to have Adobe Acrobat and at least the Standard addition...which costs money.

  • Problem saving attachments with longish filenames

    We're having a problem saving attachments from Mail that are 25+ characters in length. ie. If we click on the "Save" attachment button in Mail, we get an alert that the file can't be saved because it's too long. We can drag the file to the desktop, but then can't move it without getting the "name is too long" alert. We have to change the name, deleting a bunch of characters. Using HFS+. Anyone have a solution?

    When you drag the attachment to the desktop you should be able to click on the file's name then edit it so it's less then 25 characters. Try saving it again after deleting some characters.
    We just switched from OS 9.4 to OS 10.4 (Intel) and found that Photoshop did not recognize any of the pics in our folders because we haven't been saving them with the file extension (i.e. jpeg, eps, etc.) We had to open all our pic files then add the extension. Apparently our old Macs could recognize a photo file but our new ones need the extension to be able to read the file. So if your file name is too long it's probably cutting off the extension - your computer won't let you save it until you make room for the file extension at the end.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT5678 I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox

    I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari.  I don't have this problem with firefox.

    do they save ok if Safari - Preferences - Security - Allow all other plug-ins is unchecked ?
    If so, likely an adobe or other pdf plugin
    Re-check the setting above & quit any browsers,
    Look in this folder by triple-clicking the line below, then ctrl-clicking it & choosing Services - Open
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    remove anything with pdf in the filename & test again
    Sometimes, plug-ins can be in the User Library folder :
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/

  • Problem saving data model when using Oracle DB Pivot feature

    I have problem saving a data model - SQL Query that uses the Oracle DB PIVOT feature?
    When I hit save, nothing happends.... have also tried "save as" - nothing is saved
    No error message is shown.
    Is Oracle DB PIVOT not supported by OBIEE?
    The SQL that is causing the problem is this one:
    SELECT * FROM
    SELECT field_name as field,
    CASE
    WHEN col_1 = 'A' THEN 'Name 1'
    WHEN col_1 like 'B_%' THEN 'Name 2'
    END
    as gastype,
    energy
    FROM table_1
    WHERE code = 'K'
    AND trunc(DAYTIME,'YYYY') = trunc(to_date('2012-01-01 00:00:00','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), 'YYYY')
    AND (col_1 in ('A') or col_1 like 'B_%')
    PIVOT (sum(energy) for (gastype) in ('Name 1' as Name1, 'Name 2' as Name2))
    order by field
    We are using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7 (Win 2008R2) against Oracle DB 11.2.0.3

    Just a wild guess .. Have you done dbsetup after installing IAS and said you are going to said databases ?

  • Problems saving files in Snow Leopard

    I've just upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard (I know I'm a dinosaur...) and am now having major problems saving Appleworks files. 
    When I'm doing corrections, I sometimes need to save a file over 10 times and my helpful "Do you want to replace this file?" box has gone and instead it's saving as a new file and adding another 'full stop' at the end of the file name.  It's driving me nuts!
    Is there any way to get back to just over-writing the file?
    Any help gratefully received...
    Thanks
    Take care
    Marianne

    This is turning out to be really crazy. I haven't added any third party application at all.
    Last night I tried Roger's 'command-S' and it worked on a different document I opened.  I tried the same document, changed it, 'Saved As' and it asked me if I wanted to over-write the file. 
    I then opened the original document I was having trouble with, hit 'Save As' and the same thing happened; it just made multiple copies of the file.  It seems to be a problem with this particular client and all his files; unfortunately, he's the client I do the most work for.
    Now I don't know why it's happening on some documents and not on others.
    Any further ideas?  Can I do something to this client's files, re-save them or whatever, so I don't have this problem?
    Thanks again...

  • Problem saving information about your mailboxes

    My Mail account freezes when a message comes up saying 'There is a problem saving information about your mailboxes' .. it just scrolls saying 'it may take a while to determine the problem, .. should I just leave it to do this or is there anything else I can do to fix the problem?

    Let the thing run in SBBOD paralysis mode for 3 hours. Up pops a message "kill Mail, will re-import all your messages on restart". Had to force quit to kill. Relaunch - by George it did so. Took forever. Fixed itself. Weird.
