My First Animated GIF, Photoshop CS3 Extended Options

[xTHExDUDEx]

You'll need to force refresh to start the animation again (shift+refresh)



I made it for a friend that is promoting his own rock music nights.
It's on his myspace page just now.

So yea, Imageready was assimilated into Photoshop CS3, it now has a nifty frame tool for creating animated GIFs.
It was fairly easy to pick up and start making frames straight away.

This is my first ever animated GIF, pretty simple I guess; I created around 50 layers in PS, each layer representing another frame, as each layer keeps all the data from the last I simply duplicated the last layer all the way to 50(ish).

To achieve the fade up affect I simply started opacity at 3% then 5%, 7% etc for a slow fade up then I raised the opacity intervals higher every few layers.

This is probably dot-to-dot to a lot of you's but I'm chuffed I can make GIFs now :D

This is really cool.


I wish I could do that...
