# I'm SO SO SO SO Sorry - CLICK FOR BIGGER FIRST
I'm going to hell for this, I know, but the similarity was just too good to resist... It's quite cheap and nasty too and probably bin-dun.

# Ah, that's a pain :(
Have you got quicktime pro? You can export the animation as an image sequence using that. Pain though.

Alternatively somehow convert the .gif to a .mov, and then you should be able to import it?

# There must be hundreds of free programs
that allow you to open a gif for editing then either save it as a psd or export all frames to layers.
That would take a minute then you can do all the rest in photoshop.

It's not that I don't want you to use fireworks. I just know that you will hate it.

# on a mac
Change the animated .GIF file you want to open into .MOV file.

eg. boxcat.gif to boxcat.mov

the Import Video Frames to Layers function will recognize it as a video file and will open it as animated sequence.

possibly if you think to yourself "better title this post : 'I'm SO SO SO SO Sorry..'" that it might be better not posted?

just a thought ;)

# Given the fact the Mirror actually printed this horrific pic at the time, for millions of people to view,
it's a bit hard to identify 'the line' that this user's TOAP has supposedly crossed really.
I mean, it's not my cup of tea, but there's been far worse posted on here - with more photoshopping - which has had rapturous praise and chuckling

# I have no problem with quick and shit when it's funny
But quality counts IMHO. People have to start somewhere though.
(I helped save b3ta! Smallbrainfield, Sun 26 Apr 2009, 12:17, archived)
# aye, agreed
people DO have to start somewhere, and this could be this fella's 'start' on here.
and yes, imo quality counts as well, but the site does say that 'jokes are better than technique'. This may have been a cheap, throwaway laugh to the user, and expected the image to go the same way.
Differing senses of humour and all that

# I'm getting a bit tired of all this
"where's the line? You crossed the line" on b3ta recently regarding images.
If you want a line then you want censorship and as such I'd be asking for a whole slew of subjects to be off limits.
You can not have selective censorship on a site that has no rules.
If you don't agree with something posted that you find morally distasteful ( as I often do myself ) then you have the option to hide it, ignore it or possibly adblock it. Screaming about how wrong it is is like crying in the streets for Diana and is nothing more than a way for you to think you are declaring yourself morally superior to others.
(I helped save b3ta! Pasanonic 's been known to cause insanity in laboratory mice, Sun 26 Apr 2009, 12:10, archived)
# I hid it and noted my objection
Your right in what you say about censorship but I'm only saying stuff so a boundary is drawn, if enough people feel the same then that type of image won't be posted as frequently, it just becomes an unspoken rule.
I'm all for pushing the boundries, but if I think it's a step too far I'll pipe up and say so, nothing about moral superiority, just what I think / feel about something.

# That makes perfect sense until the 'if you don't agree' bit

(I helped save b3ta! my mum, Sun 26 Apr 2009, 12:21, archived)
# If the general consensus seems to point to something
not being in good taste (as it appears with this post), then it does suggest a line has been crossed somewhere, regardless of there being no rules.
(I helped save b3ta! Smallbrainfield, Sun 26 Apr 2009, 12:24, archived)
# but is it actually a general consensus, or is it just people following a trend from the first reply?
I've seen some posts on b3ta that have been absolutely fine, but because the first reply was "FAIL", there were plenty of replies following it also saying FAIL :D
(I helped save b3ta! Shada, Sun 26 Apr 2009, 12:29, archived)
# Bit of both
I'd say. But sometimes more one than the other.
(I helped save b3ta! Hellzapoppin, Sun 26 Apr 2009, 12:34, archived)
# Yes but what I'm getting at is
that if you say "we can't have that because some of us don't like it" then I and others have every right to call for censorship of anything we don't like. Then the question of "Where is the line" becomes even more important.

I think if you can't realise what is bad taste then it's just a limitation of your brain function. But I also think if you can't discern what is an utter shite piece of photoshopping and decide not to waste a thread with it then you are also a bit dysfunctional or so desperate for peer interaction that any attention will do for you.

# Even severly autistic people can learn basic social interaction
but they have to be taught.

I think censorship is more an independent body deciding what is and isn't good for the general population (mods have that power)
So we are not demanding censorship, just letting somebody know we don't like it. If they post something good at a later date then I'll likely say I like it. Isn't that a large part of b3ta?

# It's not like I disagree with your sentiment.
More that I'm trying to be devil's advocate. It's just not workable at b3ta. Plus we may have mods but we have no moderation beyond removal of spam and linking large images.
