[autumnpixiedust]

how to save the GIF as original instead of optimized?

[killer2674]

@autumnpixiedust When you press "save for web.." a new windows pop ups then on the top it has taps just click on "original."

[autumnpixiedust]

@killer2674 I can't. It was still saved as the optimized version

[theJ0KERkn0wsnoPAYNE]

i dont understand!

everything is set right and when i open it from my documents it plays fine

but when i try to publish it somewhere online it doesnt move >=[

[LittleJayneyCakes]

Mine saves, but it isn't animated. It just sits there. Lol

[ToyStoryPugs]

Thanks for sharing that tip on saving animations. I have a question, Would I be able to put the animation on my website? If so, can you explain how? Thanks

[gambitrocks]

When I go into the "Save for web & devices" and select original tab. The preview says 600kb but when I save the file it is 6MB. I'm trying to figure a way to make my gif look as good as possible without making the file too big or too pixelated. Any suggestions? Gif is 5 seconds long.

[blackend00]

waw i didn't know that you could do that with Photoshope ^^ i made one with after effect it wasn't easy ,thx for the video mate

don't forget to select forever

[ItsClairexx]

[TheDulTek]

Thank you! You have no idea how long I searched for this exact tutorial! =D

[ycateiram]

[yuvalg2]

[Squidpus]

What if there are selective parts, such as the background, that are transparent, yet when exported via Save For Web, there's a jagged white outline when the whole background should be transparent? This problem is not present if it's a single, non-animated image.

[Rob1Marley]

Where can I find the url???

[TheRihannaFresh]

thank you so much :D

[EllEiEllE]

[tOnycuhz89]

mine wont loop, it will just save as one image

[sockpopets]

@tOnycuhz89 same here, anyone have advice, it won't loop but only play show as one image even when i select "forever" i've tried deselecting the layers, selecting only there first one, selecting all of them etc. before saving, but it won't play as a gif

please help, anyone?

[Luxiebabee]

mine just saves as one image. :(

[discoshit]

When you have saved your gif file to your folder, preview it in safari or explorer. It will only be saved in your folder as 1 file, which will be the starting image of your moving gif file. With the LOOPING problem, in the Save for Web palette, there is a looping option down the bottom right under the little animation bit. Select "Forever" and it will repeat its loop! Yew!

[rebekahday]

@discoshit Thanks for the info!

[brangaaaaah1111]

mine just saves as a single image......

[princesslovesgod]

Thank you very much! This helped a lot! ^^

[Genkai]

for me there's always some weird white fuzz when I upload mine and try to use it, since it has PNG transparency, any idea how to fix this?

[laurenmckennababyx]

I did that but it wouldn't work :(

[tidurion]

thanks! :)

[JSSXIII]

This was very helpful as well as your "How to save" epilogue can you tell me how to make the gif loop though? as i cant figure it out.

[PhotoFunVideos]

@JSSXIII Below the 1st Frame of the gif there should be a little box that drops down and says 'Forever, 3Times and Once' in it. Make sure forever is checked and that should work I think :)

[llirbwerdnadivad]

@JSSXIII I think it loops automatically. Does for me, at least...

[OkeyDokey92]

thanks alot! but how do you upload it to a web site?

[redneck84305]
