cs2 doesn't let you load multiple frames either, you have to load them up in imageready and switch across.

oh and woo!

Keep CS2 around if you can...

I thought you used flash for these?
(I helped save b3ta! finnbar has officially retired, Sun 12 Aug 2007, 15:52, archived)
# Yeah.
But I used to export them as a jpg sequence and piece it back together on imageready, getting a better quality gif than flash creates.

Now I'm fucked unless adobe have another program for such tasks I don't know about.

Folder as Frames
In Photoshop CS3, do the following steps:

1. Select File Scripts Load files into Stack.
2. In the Load Layers dialog box, select Folder from the Use menu. Browse to the folder that contains the images you want to include and click OK.
3. Select Make Frames from Layers in the Animation palette menu.

# There's lots of functionality missing.
The main thing is that PS doeos not open the frames in an animated gif. It will only open the first frame.

Solution

Open the animated GIF file in Adobe Fireworks. Fireworks provides editable layers and timelines for animated GIF files.

(I export as gif then open in imageready to tidy them, optimise etc.)

# GRRRRRRRR
I know, isn't that fucking annoying. I looked on their support site and they've got a simple solution: buy Fireworks.
I have the Design Premium version of CS3, list price $1799. Their advice to get back the functionality I had in the previous version is to spend even more money on an app I fucking hate. Thanks.
I've found a fairly crappy workaround with my version of CS3, which is to import into a flash document, export the frames as a .png sequence, load those into photoshop (there's now a script which does this, "Load Files Into Stack") then in the animation window go "Make Frames From Layers." Not great, but better than nothing.

# Have you tried
File ... Import ... Video Frames to Layers ... ?
(In the file name box type *.gif to select your anim)
(I helped save b3ta! P3te "the Meat", Sun 12 Aug 2007, 16:46, archived)
# Good thinking.
That will work passably if the .gif is ripped from a video source but not if it's a true animated gif with different timings on each frame. The reason being, it automatically applies the same timing to each frame regardless of the individual frame speeds in the original gif.

I feared this would be the case, but couldn't find an old gif to test it with.

# i get the impression that
the combining of the product ranges from adobe and macromedia was a bit of a hard task and they rushed it a bit. i imagine the next releases will be better streamlined.
(I helped save b3ta! connor, Sun 12 Aug 2007, 17:12, archived)
# Yeah
that's exactly what I was thinking.
More than anything I hope it doesn't show a decline in Adobe's standards.
