# so bracing!
What do you use these days for gif animation? I used to be fine with Photoshop, but they've screwed it up entirely since merging it with video output - it ignores the frame-delays I set and outputs super-slow due to some bullshit 'framerate' setting that just makes it choppy

Driving me nuts.

# Haha, that's some old-skool moaning right there.
I used to piss and moan about that on /board after PS first dropped ImageReady (remember that?). The frame-delays thing particularly pissed me off. I actually contacted Adobe support and asked why they'd removed a basic function from their software. They told me to use Fireworks, the cheeky fuckers.
Anyway, HAPPY ENDING: .gif functionality has been completely integrated into the last couple of PS versions, no silly workarounds, it just works.

# Is that the ones you have to pay monthly for? Trying to avoid that.
Finally found a small and cheap Mac application to do the final stage of setting the frame delays and saving it - thankfully it takes a layered PSD as I needed it for a work thing and couldn't piss around any longer.
"Gif Animator" by "Make Fire" if anyone is in similar need.

# nooooo, I don't plan on renting software.
I'm on CS6, I'm going to hang onto it as long as I can.

# I just ran updates on CS6
and now it works! Glad that app was less than 2 bucks, but, fuck.
