Thanks 🙂

A simple method for making *basic* animations is to make each of the separate frames in Photoshop on a different layer and then export it to Imageready.
In Imageready turn on the Animation palette Window>Animation At the top right of the animation palette there’s a small arrow, click the arrow and choose Make Frames From Layers.
You then get an animation which you can play and save.

This is only the basic idea. You can then experiment by adding layers and making the layers visible and invisible in different frames, you’ll also want to look up tweening and altering the timeframe in the help files.

Best of luck.

Thanks,
So what you are saying for differences of imageready and photoshop, is that :
in photoshop, I am designing the images, with filters, etc…, and in imageready I take those images, and arrange them somehow together, by using layers, and making gif animations, several images that are built of several layers …

Is there anything else I should know about differences ?

Thanks 🙂

I don’t think I actually said that. What I did was address the first part of the question on how to make animated gifs. All I tried to do was give you a pointer in the right direction.

The problem with defining Photoshop is that people use it in so many different ways.
In *my opinion* Photoshop is a graphics program and all your design work should be done in PS. You don’t need Imageready and I venture a guess that most people rarely use it.

However there were a number of PS users who needed certain functions not provided within PS. e.g. people who want to make and/or edit animated gifs. For these people, instead of incorporating a little used feature into the main program, Adobe introduced Imageready as a separate prog. Because it’s a separate prog a lot of the features of PS were built into it to save the hassle of swapping between the two to make minor adjustments. This probably made more sense (at least to Adobe) in the days when computers were slower, had smaller memories and some people could not run the two programs simultaeneously. I suppose there’s also the possibility that Adobe thought introducing these features into PS would cause programing conflicts and/or that one day they might be able to sell a fully developed Imageready as a separate product????

However having said that I believe the wheel has now turned almost full circle and, as I understand it, both progs are much more closely integrated in the new suite.

I suspect a day will come when we get a ‘super-Photoshop’ where Imageready, and possibly Illustrator and other progs are all built into the same program.

I am now going to buy a flameproof suit, change my name, leave the planet and not read this ng for the next 200 years.
