Web GIF glitch.

Alright, I made my first GIF today with a clipping mask and all. It shows up as this:
I tried uploading to Photobucket multiple times and Tinypic plenty times as well. 

Save the document in a PSD version including your frame set. Then upload that file so we can look at it and save an animated gif from it.
For your web gif file animates poorly with Firefox and Chrome does not animate with IE8 and  CS2 Imageready can not open it. and for some reason realplayer get involved when Chrome animates it.
I can open your gif in CS5 but in CS5 it operates as on the web I can modify it
I think what you wanted to do is somthing like this however your document had a background layer that does not support tranaparency
Perhaps with a Layer Style thrown in

  • Partial transparency with save for web gif?

    Hey all,
    I remember back in the day of photoshop 6 or maybe even 7, when I would create partial transparent .gif files through the "view menu" export transparency button, or something like that, and it would let me create beautiful partial transparent .gif files all with nicely rasterised edges.
    I'm noticing in these newer versions of photoshop I have to save in the .png format to do that same thing (get that clean transparency).
    Am I still able to create clean rasterised transparencies in gif file format via save for web in PS CS5 etc??? Or am I missing something?
    Once of those things that bugs me and I need an older head to set me straight.
    Any help would be great

    One can still use them, I guess.  But read this article for GIF and its replacement PNG.  http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCQQFjAA&url=http%3A%2 F%2Fwww.w3.org%2FQA%2FTips%2Fpng-gif&ei=_JQTT_rOMcHjiAKF-vXtDQ&usg=AFQjCNHQ7JbGtlwXdnK5BWp 7tXEJ7IpfhQ

  • Save for web gif loop settings not working

    Photoshop CC 2014 Mac Pro 10.8.5
    When I change looping settings from "once" to "forever" when saving a gif it only loops once. I tried multiple times. In the end what got it to work was changing looping back and fourth from "once" to "forever" over and over and over until randomly the preview started looping. At that point when I saved it worked correctly.

    I’m not really sure; it could be a Mac problem.
    This is the Adobe statement on Lion:
    Mac OS 10.7 has some exciting new features such as Autosave, Restore, Versioning, Full Screen Mode, and more multi-touch gestures. For Adobe applications to fully support these features, additional product development is required. Adobe is working to address this issue.
    There is one other thing you could try. Open a photo in the Editor and then hold down the Cmd+Opt+Shift Keys and press the letter S
    It’s also possible to delete the save for web preferences and then re-start the program to re-build them. This involves holding down Cmd+Opt keys and clicking Save for Web under the File menu. However this may not be possible if save for web is grayed out.
    Please let us know if you get it fixed.

  • CS4 Save For Web GIF settings confusion

    Hi,
    I am working on a new website and have run into a problem I just can't seem to solve: my navigation links are made using a GIF and for some reason the background color of the GIF is not matching the background color of the page.
    The test page is here:
    http://www.johnblaustein.com/webtest2/
    Note that nothing in the page is working yet.  If you look closely, you will see that the navigation image is a slightly different color than the background.  Very slight, but different.  (Once I solve this color issue, I will make each link into a separate button with slices.)
    In PS, I have created a file as follows:  new file (72dpi), fill background with the same color I use on the webpage: c4c0b4.  Create new layer and add the type.  The new file is in Adobe RGB, but I convert to sRGB before saving for web (although I don't think that matters).  When I Save For Web, I started with the default GIF settings, but when I got the color mismatch, I tried any number of other settings.  I read a post here that suggested turning off the background layer of the image before Save For Web, but that resulted in the text looking bad.  I've tried different color settings (32, 128), matte settings and other settings with no luck.  Convert to sRBG is always checked.
    I like solving these things on my own, but I struck out on this one.  I am here in the hopes that one of you gurus can tell me what I am doing wrong.
    Thanks very much.
    John

    SUCCESS!
    Curt.... you were correct.  I needed to create the new file in sRGB, not create the file in Adobe 1998 and then convert.
    Here is another test, showing that the text box has completely disappeared:
    http://www.johnblaustein.com/webtest2/nav-srgb-test
    The text box is exactly the same size as in the original page I posted.
    What I did is this:
    Create new file to specified dimensions.  In the New File dialog, for Background Contents, I selected my webpage color, c4c0b4.  I clicked the Advanced arrow and selected sRGB as the color profile.  I added white text, then flattened the image.  In the Save For Web dialog, I clicked the Preset dropdown and selected GIF 128 Dithered and did not change any of those preset settings.  I inserted the new image into a copy of the webpage and you can see that there is absolutely no indication of where the image ends and the page background starts.
    I may not need 128 colors, so I'll play with that, but at least I know where the problem is.
    So... thank you Curt!
    What would we do without these forums?
    John
    By the way... I see your message was cut off in the forum, but the full message came to my email: "I am over my head on this subject. The only thing I noticed is that you are adding the color in AdobeRGB and then converting to sRGB. Will this give a slightly different color than using sRGB for the New Image from the start?"

  • Animated GIF Glitch - Please Advise

    I created the shiny button on the right side of the web layout and it works fine.
    Yesterday, I created a 4-image animated GIF of sign language people.  For some reason the 4 image GIF hurries up its cycle and the shiny button works fine only 1 time.  If you click on a secondary page, the shiny button keeps shining like it's supposed to.  Only back on the home page does the shiny button shine only one time and the 4-image one rushes through its cycle.
    http://hissign.com/newdevelopment/index.html
    Any advise is appreciated.
    Thanks - Deaf Guy

    Hi Michael,
    Yes, it works fine in Chrome, Firefox and Safari for me on a Mac.
    One thing I would suggest though; instead of using an animated gif for the sign language images why not use a slide show widget and jpg images?
    It does the same thing and you would not lost the quality of the images because of the gif format.

  • Save for web gif issue

    Hi everybody
    hopefully someone here will be able to help. so here's the problem :
    Started since photoshop cs4 11.0.2 update, before everything was doing just fine, and I use photoshop everyday.
    Now, when I try to save for web I just got png or jpegs because if I try to save gif it just crashes photoshop without showing any error.
    it just shut it down. I still can save as gif but without all the tweaking options. I've tried removing the photoshop prefs and also the sfw prefs
    and I was happy to see it solved the problem until I restarded photoshop and bam the problem was there again!
    any idea ?
    nothing else has been installed on the computer, I run XP 64.
    thx a lot for your help.
    phil

    Is your system allowing you to enable OpenGL?  If so have you tried disabling OpenGL or changing any of the "Advanced" modes?  Just a thought.
    You might want to check for updated video drivers from nVidia, though I don't know how actively they might be updating them for XP x64.

  • Web Upload Glitch

    Im looking for suggestions on troubleshooting the Upload process for placing Lightroom web photo galleries online. Ive done it successfully once but have been unable to duplicate that feat. Ive figured out how to do it manually by exporting to my FTP workspace and uploading manually, but every time I try the Upload command direct from Lightroom I get an absolutely instantaneous message saying:
    FTP transfer failed with message the server could not be found.
    It comes up so fast I wonder if its really trying to find the server at all. I know I have the right server/password data as Ive quintuple checked it many times.
    If anyone can point me in the direction of a solution Id be very grateful. If it helps my domain is placed on Network Solutions servers.
    Elliot Berlin

    Okay, I think I know the answer, since I just fixed the same problem.
    I only have the problem at home, not at work. The problem is at home, my wireless modem was plugged into my vonage router which was directly connected to my cable modem. When I I plugged my apple airport extreme 'n' router into the cable modem first, and chained my vonage router off the airport extreme, well, everything worked just fine.
    Hope this helps.

  • Web design glitch in Safari

    I'm designing a website using Dreamweaver, and I've placed a spry menu bar inside div tag. The bar stretches almost to the end of the div when I preview the page in FF, IE and Chrome, but when I preview it in Safari, it puts the final menu bar item on the line below. I've tried adjusting the text and padding sizes for the menu bar to make it shorter, but that didn't solve the problem. Any ideas about what causes or how to fix this glitch? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello, Have you looked at http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/ yet as I'm not sure this forum is the best place to ask questions about development issues. I'd probably start with a thorough search on Google first.

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    It could be the web site not your browser. It would help if you told us which browser you are having problems with and which Mac client.
    If you are using Mac Mail, from the Mail Menu Bar, click Mailbox/Take All Accounts Online.
    Also, click My Settings on the right and update your profile. Which Mac do you have add 10.6.
    Thanks! Much easier to help you that way.

  • Animated gif changes to black and white when exporting

    A student created an animated gif of a solar system for class. When he tries to export it as an animated web gif, it changes everything to grayscale.

    If you go to File>Image Preview, there's a drop down menu called "palette". This is probably set to black and white or greyscale. Change it to exact or adaptive.

  • Please help with exporting as .GIF (CS5)

    I made some movie symbols out of sprites (inserting a new frame for each key)
    then dragged each of the symbols into the scene 1, and when I press ctrl+enter it looks how I want it to look, but if i try to publish it as gif, or export it as gif, it just shows the first frame and is really bad quality. My publish settings are all correct and I even tried to export it as a quicktime .mov then importing it to photoshop to save for web (gif) but even then it just showed the first frame.
    Any ideas? I've been stressing about this for days.

    again, putting movieclip symbols on the main timeline will display the first frame of the movieclip in your animated gif.  you won't see the movieclip's other frames.  ie, the movieclip won't appear to animate.
    you may be able to place an animated graphic on the main timeline, publish your gif and you may see your graphic's animation.  try it and see.
    otherwise, all your tweens/animations will need to be on the main timeline with no nested animations.

  • File name truncation warning on Save for Web (For Macintosh browsers?) (CS2)

    Image (Line drawing). Save for Web (*gif). Receive following warning:
    "Some names of the files being saved will be truncated to 31 characters for compatibility with Macintosh browsers. To change your filename compatibility options, click the Optimize pop-up menu, choose Output Settings, and select Saving Files."
    I could not find the Optimize pop-up menu. Therefore, I did not do this step.
    After save, I simply went to the appropriate folder and changed the file name to what I originally wanted (i.e., essentially correcting the truncation).
    Big deal or not? Will all be OK?
    Thanks in advance. From a novice.
    K. Glenn Cole, President
    Wilmot Company, Inc.

    You can probably safely turn off that Macintosh compatibility setting now.
    It's a bit tricky to find those settings...  Here's how.
    First, in the Save For Web dialog, hit the little icon at the upper-right and choose Edit Output Settings.
    Then change the selector to Saving Files and look for the settings you want to change as shown here:
    I captured the above from PS CS6, but I think they're substantially the same.

  • Problems batch processing files in Illustrator CC2014

    I have a set of actions that I run Batch with that take all of the .eps files in a specific folder and saves .AI & .PDF formats, exports .JPG & .PNG and Saves for Web .GIF files.
    I'm running into two major issues that I can't find any solutions to. I have tried numerous combinations of the Batch settings to try alleviating these problems, but nothing has worked yet.
    When I run the actions with either .AI or .PDF "Save as" actions it works just fine. But, if I run them both I only end up with whichever action is first in the list.
    When I created the .JPG and .PNG "Save as" actions, they worked fine and included the file extension. When I run the Batch operation, the last one in the batch overwrites the first file format because neither have an extension.

    I think you are misunderstanding something here/ not understanding how PDF text embedding works. If PDF files contain embedded fonts, those take precedence over local system fonts. Each font or sub-set of a font (if "only embed used glyphs" is chosen) is assigned a unique identifier number to reference it. Names are only stored based on how the file was created. It is up to the program opening the PDF file to read that info and make sense of it. This may allow to re-create an editable document, but as I already wrote, based on what priorities apply, it may not. The only way to make sure a document remains editable is to attach the source in a separate chunk, which is what Retain Illustrator Editing Capabilities does. The rest is far out and far inbetweeen, as they say...

  • LINK to Database with different GLOBAL_NAME

    Could anybody help me? We have two databases with different GLOBAL_NAME parameter. First database has GLOBAL_NAME=true, second - 'false'. I would like to make LINK from first database to second.

  • Signature image for outlook

    I am trying to create a signature image for outlook but the image is loosing sharpness when the mail is delivered. What is the ideal work flow to create a signature image?

    My workflow would be as follows, as I tested it and found the most satisfying for creating signatures for emails:
    Preferably use a graphic tablet and a stylus to create a hand signature
    In Illustrator create a regular A4/Letter document
    Use the Brush tool: Caligraphic Brush, e.g. 5pt Oval
    Draw a large, comfortable signature
    Turn on Window>Pixel View and adjust the size of the signature for your final output. After scaling down the path, the 5pt brush might be too large, you can either pick smaller brush 3pt or manipulate with the path/stroke size. Keep it a bit thicker rather than thinner, it will look nicer.
    Save for web: GIF, Grayscale, Transparency
    Voila. Good luck.
