How to use image ready

[Dirty[elf]]

any tutorials or anyone who wants to explain to me how to make a .gif image move like blink.. or just i dunno.. just explain to me in detail how to make a simple gif, like 1 to 5 frames max.. and make it repeat... thanks

what i do is make my frames in photoshop, each layer is a frame, then go convert to image ready, then you create a new frame for each layer (or however many frames you want) then set what layers are seen in what frame (by hiding/unhiding the layers)

but how do u upload the images to the net, or save them as a single .gif?

it seems to save it as a html file and 2 gifs in a folder...

wut do i do with that?

I think you have to Save Optomized As (name).gif

But before this, you have to go into the properties of every frame and set the length of time each frame is viewed, and whether it is a repeating animation or a one time thing.


Example of repeating animation from a propsed Protoss skin.

Example of a one time animation from the same skin.

I'm sure there are many other things to consider, but I'm still learning myself.

I also toggle between Image Ready and Ulead5
Both have their own attributes.
