When I try to save this picture to a .gif from a .psd (photoshop) it becomes all grainy, but the one I have saved as a .png is crystal clear. should i change the resolution or something so when i save it to a .gif it doesnt become grainy?
--edit sorry my bad, the picture is animated. its suppose to be: http://alkaspace.com/is.php?i=3200&img=ljlayout1.gif |

GIF's are usually grainy. There really isn't anything you can do about that. Try saving it as a jpg

do you have CS2?
answer that and i can help you (however, that image you showed has WAY too many colors, and that's why it's grainy like that, you shouldn't use so many colors and they turn out better) |

do ctrl+alt+shift+s IN PHOTOSHOP
and it will save animated gifs and you have a lot more control |

you have to go to Window>animation
or open it in imageready first and then transfer it to photoshop if it's still one frame |

Don't optimize it.
 The more optimized it is, the grainier it will be. Less colours. You don't have a save for web feature? Because that gives you tons of control over the animation in Elements... And you can see how it looks.

Chose .gif filetype and it should give you an animation checkbox. I don't have CS2, so I'm not entirely sure on this. Check it and then play around until it looks good.
