How to create gif picture in photoshop?????????

I need to create some gif picture in photoshop can any one help ?????????
is the photoshop is the good software to create gif file????????

 

Yes, too save as a GIF simply go to File>save to web and devices there you can save as a gif

 

Press ctrl+shift+s and you will be asked to save for web. Use .gif format to save for web. You can also save as gif similar to saving in .psd

 

Is it an animated .gif? Also, what version of Photoshop are you using? In CS2 and earlier versions of Photoshop, you save an animated .gif by going to File>Save Optimized As> and choosing .gif to be the file type. If it's CS3 or CS4, then do as dvncfll01 said.

If it's not animated, just go to File>Save and under File Type at the bottom, choose Graphics Interchange Format (.gif).

 

yah,i need to create animated gif.am using cs3.
it would be nice if show some pic tutorials........

 

simple dude i'll just type it all....

Ok first get all your images the same exact size

then go to windows>animation

You well see a panel come up on the lower part of photoshop
Next on the lower part of the panel click the little rectangle button

now this can get a little annoying but this is how you do it

hide all the layers except for 1 which you want to be your starting image

next make a new layer (on the left bottom panel near the trash can of the animation bar )

Hide your first image and UN hide your 2nd images

and continue doing this till your done

then you can set a time for the animation

on the bottom right panel as well where it says "once"

 

Yo man its work......
its realy cool,
Thanks for your reply.....

 

How can i can create effects in this animated gif???
Pls reply if you know...........

 

you would have to use a more advance animation program like flash

 

Well what kind of effects are you wanting to do?

 

First you can make psd file if you want animation gif file then after make Frame one by one in psd file and after save as in gif

 

ya photo shop is the best and i always use it

 

I just need the pan(zoom) in\out , marquee effect............

 

i love gifsssss

 

U can put from photoshop...Photoshop animated Gif....

 

Well, I can't check to verify this right now because i'm at school, but here's what i'd try first to see if the zoom would work:

On your first frame in the animation, get the original size set. Click the "New Frame" button, and on this one, use free transform to resize the image to what you want, and make sure it's centered. Next step is to tween those two frames together. If you've still got the second frame selected, press the tween button, and select tween with previous frame. Set the frames at what you think should work (depends on how crisp you want the transition, and how large your image is.) Click play afterwards.

If this didn't work how you were wanting, then I honestly don't think you'll be able to get it done in photoshop. Photoshop isn't mainly used for animations of that sort. I'd advise finding a free flash banner maker, i've seen quite a few good ones.

As for the marquee effect, on the first frame move the text or w/e you're wanting to marquee to where you want it to start off. In the second frame use the Move tool (V is the shortcut) to move your text or marquee item across the image. The most sufficient way to do this is to hold shift, and drag the marquee item across the image with your mouse. Holding shift while you do this will assure you get a straight line. You can also move the image using the arrow keys. Holding shift while using the arrow keys will move the marquee item 10 pixels for every pressing of the arrow key, instead of 1 pixel.

If you need anymore help, please just ask!

 

you mean to transfrom the picture and do the animation na?
But while doing this the clarity of pic just vanishes yaar..
