Hi

Probably a stupidly simple explanation for this, but….

I am trying to save a mostly orange Gif for a website. I can save it as such as well as a Jpg no problem but it is way too bright and loud to use. It would give you a nose bleed! When I fade it to 50% and save as Gif it stays bright.

Any suggestions?

TIA

When you say fade to 50%… you aren’t just changing the opactiy are you? GIF images only allow full transparency/no transparency. Things can’t be slightly transparent. Make a layer underneath your image with the same colour as your website background, or use the matte colour settings.

I was trying to fade it and the save. I ought to know this as I have tried to save a Gif with a shadow and looks crap!

Thanks for kicking the grey stuff into action
