Sig/Photoshop help, quick question

[Anonymous]

How come my sig has no animation?  It should have the rotating circle and the wiggets.

You'll have to save it as a gif through Adobe Imageready.  Go through the instructions on this page...actually Gillette/Ratio's post makes it a bit easier and if you have any more questions feel free to PM me or post here.

You forgot a period at the end there.

And you need to capitalize the "b" at the beginning of your fragmented sentance...

Don't make me beat someone in the name of grammer. >

Anyway, compiling it in Photoshop shouldn't make a difference than conpiling it in Imageready should it? I tried test-compiling my the other day in CS (Photoshop, not Counter-Strike you crackhead) and got the same problem.

I'm pretty sure you'll have to 'save optimized as' (a gif) in Imageready.      Thats how I do it.  I'm not sure if the frames will convert to an animated gif in Photoshop.

photoshop deals with single frames, but imageready will convert frames to animation, I think you are correct Beleev.

ImageReady, ImageReady, ImageReady. The only thing you should ever use photoshop for is creating or editing specific elements (and then you should copy and paste them into imageready). Photoshop is useless for animation - and since it sees frames as layers and saves them as ordinary ps layers and not as frames with timing data, if you edit things in photoshop, there's a good chance you'll have to go through and reanimate the entire thing by hand.

In fact, unless you're doing something like resetting white points, color matching, importing ai graphics or making custom ramps, there's really no reason at all that you should be using ps for editing these sigs. (You might think you need 48 bit color, but I guarantee that the 256-color gif you'll end up with doesn't. ) /shrug

I re-read and edited my post in the sig thread. Since photoshop and imageready are really the same program, I forget that people don't know which to use for what and I say one when I mean the other all the time. My language was sloppy for new users. Sorry about that.
