Back in CS2, you could import an animated gif, well, if all you want to do, is import an animated gif in CS3, try this trick I found on 2 blogs last week.
It seems Adobe has forgotten to put a menu pull down option for *.gif , in the "File -> import -> video frames to layers " area.
If you do this manually, by just typing in *.gif, you will now be able to import an animated gif ! ( yes all animation intact ! )
Why you can’t just open an animated gif from the "open" menu is beyond me.
Let’s hope that Adobe fixes this error by adding an option for "*.gif" in this pull down menu.
I posted this in the archives section of the ImageReady subforum, and then realized this was the archive section, and would not been seen by many, so I have posted the workaround here.
