balls to PS

use either FW for your GIFing
or flash if you've got the time to learn it

good to know

i thought it was quite a long winded way of doing it.

Really?

Fireworks for GIFing?
Why's that?

well its not a great program

but the cross-compatibility with other adobe programs is what wins it for me.
having said that there are hundreds of programs for gif animating; its a case of what you like really.

i would have put ease in/out motion on the bird

but PS said no.

(its quagmire style at the mo)

I've just transferred to PS from FW

because everyone said i had to.
they were right, and it's brilliant, of course.
I've only animated in Flash so far; is it worth going back to FW for short anims?

yeah i think it is

i like some of the nice tools FW offers
but TBH flash is so smooth it may not be worth it

i'm aware that that has an animation tool

i still haven't got fully round to playing with image ready yet

i'm a professional graphic designer and digital artist

and i have literally never even opened imageready.
maybe i should one day

(gobbledegook blurs the line between lurking and stalking, Sat 28 Jun 2008, 0:04, archived)

I opened IR accidentally once..

it wasn't pretty.

There is no imageready in CS3, all the animation features got absorbed into photoshop.

Which personally I think is unfortunate as there aren't really any save to web type features now.

(Jeru War and Piss, Sat 28 Jun 2008, 0:05, archived)

yeh they are still there

'Save for web and devices'.

I remember there was a difference in it, although I can't remember how fewer comparison modes as in imageready or something.

Plus the new Photoshop is ridiculously slow and bevelled and all shiny, which is irritating.

(Jeru War and Piss, Sat 28 Jun 2008, 0:09, archived)

Yeh its a annoying inevitability that they will always future-proof software.

Cs3 will prob run smoothly in about 5 years time.

works beautifully on my machine

admittedly it does resemble the monolith from 2001: a space oddesy and sounds like a jet fighter but hey

(gobbledegook blurs the line between lurking and stalking, Sat 28 Jun 2008, 0:16, archived)

yeah..

i meant i'm languishing in cs2 hence still with image ready.

(

as long as you are with a CS of some kind

then all is well.

I hate to sound like a stupid head

but how do you even start an animation in ps cs3?

(

owensanity, Sat 28 Jun 2008, 0:13, archived)

Just any file, but bring the animation panel up.

Up with all the other panels like layers and so on under the Window menu
