Settings help needed for animated GIF

I have a simple black and white JPEG of 4 umbrellas. My goal is to create a 5 frame animated GIF that shows no colors in the 1st frame, then frame 2 shows the left most umbrella tinted yellow, then frame 3 shows the next umbrella tinted green, etc.
I used the smart brush tool to add color tint to each umbrella, one layer at a time. Each color addition created an adjustment layer which I merged down into a "real" layer. When I go to "Save for web", I can only get 2 layers to work in an animation regardless of how small a file I create. When I attempt putting the 3rd layer in, I get an error message saying it is too big and I need to either reduce the number of layers (I only have 5 at most) or reduce the image size (I've tried as low as 10 pixels width by 5 pixels height - extremely low and using only 8 colors). Can anyone tell me what "magic settings" I may need to apply in the image size section, etc, to make this thing work?

Ok, I figured it out. Apparently you need to reduce the size of the image before you send it to "Save for Web". When I reduced it from 2828 pixels wide to 400 pixels wide by 120 height (a workable size for my project), and then sent it to Save for Web, it all worked fine. I guess you can't rely on the "New Size" in the Save for Web screen to do the job - bummer.

  • Cname settings help needed for a Network Solutions Personal Domain

    Hi-
    I've purchased a personal domain name from Network Solutions. I've followed the instructions that Apple has given me, and have specified "web.mac.com" as the alias name, as well as specifying "www" in the drop down box in the next field to the right of the alias field. I've also set up my personal domain name on the Apple side. However, after 48 hours, I'm still seeing the "site under construction page" from Network Solutions when I go to view my personal domain. I confirmed on the Apple side that iWeb was now using my personal domain name, and I was also able to confirm that my domain name was/is pointing to web.mac.com. What am I doing wrong? Does anybody out there with a Network Solutions domain name have any experience with this?

    Did you ever get an answer on this?

  • Is there support for animated .gif files?

    Is there support for animated gif files using
    form builder? I can't get it to work.
    Thanks
    Sean
    I am using forms 6.0

    She used the Link Tool, specfied 'Image URL' as the Source File Format and the url of the animated GIF in the Source Filename. Hope that helps.
    Makes sense but the form is not for the web.
    I have looked at doing it with timers and switching canvases, but that is just too much
    for sloppy animation. It's just not tight enough.
    Thanks,

  • Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

    Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
    System: Windows 7
    Adobe CS5
    Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
    Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
    Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
    Epson driver up to date
    After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
    The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail  I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
    My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
    Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
    When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling:  Printer manages color.  Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
    Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
    Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
    What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
    Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create? 
    Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
    Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
    If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
    Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
    Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
    I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

    It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
    I hope this may help...............

    Business rule: a combination consists of a maximum of 4 subjects (must contain)
    and the user is less relevant to a COMB_NAME(name of combinations) but user need

    i need the following output

    you can use any of the COMBINATION table(either (2) or (3))
    and i want to know
    1)which design is good in this case
    (i think SUB_ID1,SUB_ID2,SUB_ID3,SUB_ID4 is not a
    good method to link with same table but if 4 subjects only(and must) comes
    detail table is not neccessary )
    now i am achieving the result by program-coding in C# after getting the rows from oracle
    i am using oracle 9i (also ODP.NET)
    i want to know how can i get the result in the stored procedure itsef.
    2)how it could be designed in any other way.
    any help/suggestion is welcome
    thanks for your time --Pradeesh

    Well I forgot the table-alias, here now with:
    SELECT C.COMB_ID
    , C.COMB_NAME
    , (SELECT SUB_NAME
    FROM SUBJECTS
    WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID1) AS SUBJECT_NAME1
    , (SELECT SUB_NAME
    FROM SUBJECTS
    WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID2) AS SUBJECT_NAME2
    , (SELECT SUB_NAME
    FROM SUBJECTS
    WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID3) AS SUBJECT_NAME3
    , (SELECT SUB_NAME
    FROM SUBJECTS
    WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID4) AS SUBJECT_NAME4
    FROM COMBINATION C;
    As you need exactly 4 subjects, the columns-solution is just fine I would say.

  • Can someone tell me what settings I need for ipad texting.  Went to Mexico and now can't get the texting to work at all on ipad.  Thanls

    Can someone tell me what settings I need for ipad texting.  I went to Mexico and when I returned the texting does not work on my ipad.  The support at Apple wanted to charge me to get info.
    THanks

    Can't address the problem directly, cause even though my iPad4 is Cell+Wi-Fi, I've never put a SIM in it and never had the need to text, SMS or iMessage, from it. When away from the office or home wireless network, I tether it off the iPhone. Skype, both text and video, work just fine thru the Wi-Fi link, though.
    HOWEVER, when I was hashing out the contract details to get the iPhone 5 about 14 months ago at Telcel, the representative distinctly mentioned that both Visual Voicemail as well as iMessages would be included in the package and they would be mandatory cause "I was getting a (subsidized) Apple iPhone" on a 24 month leash. Then when the gizmo came out of its box for SIM installation and activation, she went thru the motions of making sure both were working properly.  So I assume the carrier has some say in the matter.

  • Help creating an animated gif for a navbar!!

    Hey guys, I am very new to fireworks and dreamweave and am having a problem that is making my head spin! I have to create a simple animated .gif for a navigation bar (which will be made in dreamweaver). The navigation bar should function similar to this: http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~baronson/ITI320/Exercise2/functionality.html. Essentially, all that is happening is I create this animated image and in dreamweaver, when I create the AP NavBar, I set the mouseover to that image. My problem is that in comparison to this website's mouseover image  ( http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~baronson/ITI320/Exercise2/images/navi/audience_OVER.gif ) my animated gif has multiple layers and states, where as his only has one layer. I can't seem to figure out how to include both the text, and the gif image, and incorporate them under the same layer.
    A follow up question after having found how to incorporate both into the same state, would I have to lasso out each piece of my animated gif for the individual state I want to have it applied to?
    Any help/pointer to where the information can be found would be greatly appreciated. I've read through the manuals and watched many of Babbage's videos but haven't been able to figure this out. Thanks!

    Your gif doesn't need to have multiple layers, but it does need to have multiple states. To save yourself a lot of confusion, create the animated gifs first, and then export them. Create your navbar in the usual way, with simple rolloveres or swap images. Export the navbar.Rename the animated gifs with the names of the over state of the navbar images, and then delete (or mone to another folder) the over state images of the navbar. Move the renamed gif animations into the image folder of the navbar. Preview in browser. The animated gifs should have replaced the original over state of the buttons.

  • Help needed for iphone 4s render settings AE

    Hello,
    I have created a sequence of intro screens for a iphone game i am developing. I have my comp settings to 960x640 (screen size). When i render it out and preview it on an iphone 4s, there is a black gap along the edges of the animation and i can not seem to make the animation fit the iphone screen full to the boarders.
    QUESTIONS:
          Is there a specific pixel aspect ratio i need to set it to in my comp settings?
         Is there specific rendering settings i needs to set it to (h.264, Quicktime, etc.)
    I have played around with several different settings combinations and can not make the black boarder go away/make the animation fit the entire screen.
    PLEASE HELP!!

    rshoemaker wrote:
    "i'm surprised that you are working on a game but do not know how to get a moving image to the screen." - I can get the animation on the iphone and view it and it works, but the problem is that even though i set it to the dimensions of the screen 960x640 there are still black boarders on both axis'.  All I want is the black boarders to be gone, guess i'll just experiment with different pixel ratios and find one that fits (other than 960-640).
    Most video files require an app to run them and that app will have prefs for going full screen mode. I doubt it is a setting in the video file. However, the SDK may provide information on setting special flags that trigger a format change in the player application. The specifications must exist someplace in your SDK. If you can give them to us, we'll help you figure it out.
    As long as you're going to all that experimenting, please let us know what your results are. There will be other seekers like you in the future, trying to fill the iOS device screen with video clips. Your experience will help those people solve similar problems.

  • 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.

  • AS3 Scripting for Animated GIF

    Hi,
    I am trying to create an animated GIF for a white noise animation (needed for those viewers who don't have access to a Flash player). The SWF version runs perfectly. Currently, all of the AS3 for the bitmapData.noise and bitmapData.palettemap script is in the first keyframe. So, when I export as an animated GIF, I get a white screen in playback.
    I think the problem for the animated GIF is that there are no frames past the first frame. But, I am not sure how to add frames or re-write the AS3 to get a 30 second animated GIF? I tried duplicating the first keyframe into several new keyframes and get error messages. I would appreciate any help.
    Here's the AS3 in the first keyframe that works well for a SWF (previous relevant thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/734335?tstart=0):
    var array:Array=new Array();
    for (var i:uint = 0; i < 255; i++) {

    var _bitmapData:BitmapData;
    var bDHolder:Sprite = new Sprite();
    _bitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.stageWidth/4, stage.stageHeight/4);
    bDHolder.addChild(new Bitmap(_bitmapData));
    bDHolder.scaleX = bDHolder.scaleY = 4;
    addChild(bDHolder);
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onSpriteEnterFrame);
    function makeNoise():void {
                _bitmapData.noise(getTimer(), 100, 255, 7, true);
