Resizing Animation problem

Hello.....
This problem has just started since upgrading to CS5.5
The problem is with PS 5.1 .
What happens is, if I make  an animation I usually prepare it at a larger
size to see it better, (my eyes are not what the once were) When it's ready/finished
I then resize it smaller to suite my needs...but what's happening now that never happened before
with any other version of PS or IR... is parts of the graphics jump off stage or to another part of the scene
I can correct or workaeound it but its a pain. Is it a bug or am I missing a checkbox somewhere?
Thanks for any help

  • Identifying/resizing animated GIF

    Hi
    This is my situation: I load user-selected image files (any format is OK, the more the better) for later transmission as byte array, always re-encoded as JPG. If the image is over some certain width/height, I scale down the image (display size issues). Until now I was reading the images with ImageIO.read, downsizing with Graphics2D.drawImage and encoding with ImageIO.write, and everything works nicely.
    Now I need to support animated GIFs as well. The current method makes animated gifs as a static first frame of the animation. My two alternatives are:
    1 - support animated GIF downsizing
    2 - detecting animated GIFs and handling them separately (no resize allowed, no re-encode)
    The first alternative sounds cumbersome, Googling around showed problems with lost transparency and requiring to downsize all frames separately and then re-encode. If I have to do this extract-downsize-encode I won't take this route, better do not perform animated GIF resizing. The second alternative sounds much simpler, and less problem-prone.
    Now I would like suggestions on how can I archive this. I'd really appreciate some code/lib to detect and optionally resize animated GIFs. It must be a free code solution.
    The only animated GIF detection code I found was this, but it requires looking for certain bytes, and I'd like a more robust solution (also it didn't worked).
    I would like to keep using ImageIO API rather than older APIs, as it seems to provide better image format support and is way simpler. A lib to do the GIF part of the job is fine.
    Thanks!

    This is my situation: I load user-selected image files (any format is OK, the more the better) for later transmission as byte array, always re-encoded as JPG. If the image is over some certain width/height, I scale down the image (display size issues).If they are JPEGs that is entirely the wrong solution. You are losing far too much image quality. What you should be doing here is saving with a lower 'q'. That's exactly what it's for - intelligent compression of images. You are just doing naive resampling. JPEG can do far better than that.
    I worked on a project where somebody downsized thousands of images like this, entirely the wrong way. Don't repeat this mistake.
    As to the rest, sounds like you need a GIF plugin for ImageIO that will let you read the header.

  • Resizing animated GIF using JIMI.

    Hi everybody,
    I have a very simple question: how can i resize an animated gif using JIMI?
    what i can do now is open the gif resize it and save it as a jpeg pic, but the animation dosen't normally remain. i want to save it as a gif thus the animation info remains.
    when i try saving it using this code:
    try{
                    Jimi.putImage("image/gif",new_image,destination);
                catch(JimiException je){
                    System.err.println("JimiException: " + je.toString());
                }i get this exception:
    com.sun.jimi.core.JimiException: Cannot find encoder for type: image/gif.
    Where can i find a gif encoder for JIMI?
    Please help.

    Jimi doesn't support GIF encoding and I afraid not support resizing animated GIFs but resize only the first frame. To resize animated GIFs I suggest to use Gif4J (http://www.gif4j.com): it's commercial but it works and works very well.

  • How can I disable the window-resize animations?

    For some reason Skype insists on adding some slow animations when resizing the Window, when resizing Skype manually it already feels very slugish but when using tools like Spectacle to easily tile your Window it just looks very silly.
    After resizing Skype to take the right half of the screen (from maximized) it takes about a second for it to stop reflowing the text in the Window because it appears to be doing some slow reflow/resizing animation thing. Since it sucks up huge amounts of CPU and slows everything down I'm just wondering how I can disable this weird behaviour.

    OK I can now get the dialog window to pop up with a single click in a document with my mouse or intuos tablet.   I had never seen that popup. Under normal conditions with the mouse I use and my old Intuos 2 now replaced with an Intuos 5 with default sensitivity setting I never saw that popup.  Now that I know it exists and how to get it I can pop it up.  Try changing your Wacom feel perhaps your getting extra single clicks.

  • Resized animated gif ImageIcon not working properly with JButton etc.

    The problem is that when I resize an ImageIcon representing an animated gif and place it on a Jbutton, JToggelButton or JLabel, in some cases the image does not show or does not animate. More precicely, depending on the specific image file, the image shows always, most of the time or sometimes. Images which are susceptible to not showing often do not animate when showing. Moving over or clicking with the mouse on the AbstractButton instance while the frame is supposed to updated causes the image to disappear (even when viewing the non-animating image that sometimes appears). No errors are thrown.
    Here some example code: (compiled with Java 6.0 compliance)
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Test
         public static void main(String[] args)
              new Test();
         static final int  IMAGES        = 3;
         JButton[]           buttons       = new JButton[IMAGES];
         JButton             toggleButton  = new JButton("Toggle scaling");
         boolean            doScale       = true;
         public Test()
              JFrame f = new JFrame();
              f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
              JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1, IMAGES));
              for (int i = 0; i < IMAGES; i++)
                   p.add(this.buttons[i] = new JButton());
              f.add(p, BorderLayout.CENTER);
              f.add(this.toggleButton, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
              this.toggleButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
                   @Override
                   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                        Test.this.refresh();
              f.setSize(600, 300);
              f.setVisible(true);
              this.refresh();
         public void refresh()
              this.doScale = !this.doScale;
              for (int i = 0; i < IMAGES; i++)
                   ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon(i + ".gif");
                   if (this.doScale)
                        image = new ImageIcon(image.getImage().getScaledInstance(180, 180, Image.SCALE_AREA_AVERAGING));
                   image.setImageObserver(this.buttons);
                   this.buttons[i].setIcon(image);
                   this.buttons[i].setSelectedIcon(image);
                   this.buttons[i].setDisabledIcon(image);
                   this.buttons[i].setDisabledSelectedIcon(image);
                   this.buttons[i].setRolloverIcon(image);
                   this.buttons[i].setRolloverSelectedIcon(image);
                   this.buttons[i].setPressedIcon(image);
    Download the gif images here:
    http://djmadz.com/zombie/0.gif
    http://djmadz.com/zombie/1.gif
    http://djmadz.com/zombie/2.gif
    When you press the "Toggle scaling"button it switches between unresized (properly working) and resized instances of three of my gif images. Notice that the left image almost never appears, the middle image always, and the right image most of the time. The right image seems to (almost) never animate. When you click on the left image (when visble) it disappears only when the backend is updating the animation (between those two frames with a long delay)
    Why are the original ImageIcon and the resized ImageIcon behaving differently? Are they differently organized internally?
    Is there any chance my way of resizing might be wrong?

    It does work, however I refuse to use SCALE_REPLICATE for my application because resizing images is butt ugly, whether scaling up or down. Could there be a clue in the rescaling implementations, which I can override?
    Maybe is there a way that I can check if an image is a multi-frame animation and set the scaling algorithm accordingly?

  • Resizing animated GIFs

    Hi,
    I use the following code to resize an ImageIcon (which is inside
    a JLabel) :
    public void resizeImageBean(ImageIcon icon, float width, float height) {
        Image img = icon.getImage();
        Image newImg = img.getScaledInstance((int) (width), (int) (height), Image.SCALE_DEFAULT);
        initImageBean(newImg);
    }//resizeImageBean
    private void initImageBean(Image img) {
        ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(img);
        imageLabel.setIcon(icon); // imageLabel is a JLabel
        repaint();
    }//initImageBeanThis code seems to work for most image formats, only with GIFs that
    are animated there is some strange behaviour.
    I have 3 cases:
    - Some GIF images are not being displayed anymore after resizing (empty JLabel)
    - Some GIF images are correctly resized, but the animation stops
    - Some GIF images are correctly resized and the animation is still ok.
    I fixed the first problem by changing the compression to interlaced if
    the gif was non-interlaced by using a freeware proggy called GiFFY.
    By doing this the images did resize but ended in one of the 2 last cases.
    Note: by changing the compression to interlaced, the images also showed
    up in the preview label of JFileChooser.
    Anyone has some thoughts on this ? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

  • Embedded Text - Animation problem

    Hi All,
    I'm having a strange problem with animated text and embedded fonts. The best way to explain is to show you...
    When I don't embed the font, the problem goes away. It happens in both IE and Firefox and on multiple machines. I've also tried different fonts with the same results. I've also tried recreating the FLA from scratch with no luck. Also, after the page loads, the "streaking" effect goes away if I resize the page.
    I am using CS4/AS3. Any ideas what is going on here?
    Thanks.
    - Adam

    then there wouldn't be any problem.  you must be doing something else.
    to confirm, create a new project that contains just your timeline tweened text.  retest.

  • Resize animation in cs5 64 bit bug?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to resize an animation I have larger, it has 12 layers, and 20 frames or so on each layer.  I'm using edit multiple frames and selecting them all, and it is working to resize them, but randomly it will delete one of my objects for a few of the frames.  When I scrub through the timeline after the resize, something is always missing, but it's always a random object and only for a few frames.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    Well, I guess I can get it to work by inputting values in the properties panel, instead of using the scale handles in the viewport....weird.  Guess it's still a bug, though. Has anyone else seen this problem?

  • Flash as2 game animation, problem.

    hello i am making a flash animation game but i have a problem, i have my guy running and everything its all gifs, so when he stops its a gif its not one picture its 4 of em (gif) which i made them all compressed into a gif and added to my library then added that to my flash made it work blah blah blah-
    well my problem is when my guy runs left he turn right after i let go of the key i no whats it is doing it using my 1 animation i have in their for standing  i to add my other animation which he standing left basically he runs left after i press left then i let go he turns right, i need to know how to make it so either when i let go of the (LEFT) key it uses my animation ('still2') which is him facing left which i need i have him running right and he stays right after so thats good, or if u know if theres a way i can make the code say like after i let go of like left it uses gotoAndStop('still2') then for running right it uses gotoAndStop('still') so he dosent turn around after i let go of left! well i hope u can find out, and its all animated, so dont just make it so it dosent stop using the animation of left or right, cause then hes running in place for enternity thanks heres my code.

    no its actually not a school project just i want to know how to make a game, and i dont know really anything about flash, but i have in my picture of my guy another layer so theres each indivudual layer like i have in my pic of my guy the still still2 running animation 1 n 2 and both my attack things, if you would to see my project so far ask me and i send the file and it should show my guy and his animations...
    heres my code so far.. idk y but i like putting at the end

  • Photoshop Elements 4 Animation Problem

    Hey everyone.
    Sorry for posting this in the iMac forum, but there really was no other forum for my problem. I am using Photoshop Elements 4, and whenever I try to save an animated gif, I cannot edit the frame delay or loop options, they will not respond to anything, but EVERYTHING else will. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, and repairing permissions, and everthing else I can think of. Please help!
    Thanks

  • How to resize animated gif without losing animation?

    I created a wee animated gif a while ago but deleted the original Photoshop file (CS3). I need to resize the gif from 100px to 70px for an avatar. When I've changed the image size in Photoshop (it doesn't show the animation frames), it removes all animation. Is there a way around this?
    Kind regards

    The image:

    You can infact use Adobe Macromedia Flash to resize your Gif Image.
    Import your Gif image into Flash and then you can try to resize and export the file as GIF.
    Its kinda weird but it works . 

  • ITunes 10.6.1, resize window problem

    I know this has been asked before, for earlier versions of iTunes, but I can't find a satisfactory answer.
    Just changed my 24" white iMac (running SL) to a 21.5" iMac with Lion and iTunes 10.6.1.
    With iTunes, it seems I have only 2 options:
    Full screen mode: works fine, use it a lot, can see everything.
    Non-full screen mode, which I want to use ocasionally for a quick change of something but now iTunes is too long and all of the bottom tool bar is below the bottom of my screen. As it's below the bottom of the screen, there are no grab handles to resize it.
    Is this just how iTunes works now (silly, as none of the other programs act this way), or is there a way to deal with this?
    Thanks
