Hi, i have some problems in creating animation GIF in Photoshop CS2

- i cant set the color to 16 bits or 32 bits so when i extract image from a movie, it's in 256 color mode and the quality is freeking low.

- the animation speed is slow and not smooth like a real movie. I visited a lot of website and saw many well created GIF, they are smooth and have good quality of color like a real movie. But i dont know how to do that.

Hope someone's good in photoshop could help me plz.

Um... slow? Can you post it, the few ways to get it faster is to delete frames, set the delay between frames lower, and um... that's all I can think of atm. Oh, and render it out and watch it in preview or photobucket, you don't want to watch it on photoshop, it tends to lag a bit.

Your sig is smooth. But i saw smoother and more details one. I set the speed of animation "no delay" but when i play it's abnormally slow.

How can u render something with photobucket? And what about the color part?

Well I started mine as 32 bit, I've never tried to change it, although I can get back to you on that.

Do a file->Save Optimized As, name it, and then upload it onto photobucket. Then click it and watch it from there. It could be different from the photoshop version you're looking at right now.

Also, get rid of excess frames. The truth is, you don't need to do a movement every little step. If you save as a smooth gif that you saw, and then analyze it in photoshop or image ready, you'll see a lot of frames can be skipped and still have a good animation.

It's not bad, what's the slow part? Or did you fix it?

BTW, is that a Jin Yong adaptation? I've never seen ti before...
