Janet Garrison Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 The later versions of Adobe Photoshop, probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchkiki Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 thank you Donbot (Y) I am not sure I understand everything (so u might keep going on doing me few set in the future ) but It's going to be very useful once I download (legally of course!) photoshop on my computer again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherrybomb Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I might have to download photoshop CS, even though it is expensive! I currently have a gif animation software, it cost me about $30-40, it is very easy to use and the gifs are GREAT until I save the actual Gif, then the quality is grainy and there's random marks over certain parts of the gif. It is pretty damn annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherrybomb Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I know about the 'dither' setting, and also know to uncheck the merging of palletes (I think it's called palletes) but I guess the thing is..I see gifs on tumblr that are clear as can be and when I make them with the software I have, they're clear while I play the gif within the software but after I save and upload it, poor quality. I've read what you've said about the colors though. Its tricky because if I make an animation, and then export each slide as an image individually, and then upload it on some online gif animators...the gif turns out more clear. Thanks for all the info though donbot. I've just heard the settings for photoshop cs5 allow for much clearer gifs, maybe I'm misinformed.

donbot Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 ^Maybe it's just shit software after all then Hard to know without seeing it, but hey you can always download a trial version of Photoshop if you just want to test it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkjh Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I know this isn't the appropriate thread to ask this, but people are replying here: Could anyone please tell me how to cut gifs into a diagonal like this? I've been looking for it for ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbot Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 ^I did a tutorial of how to combine two GIFs together in this thread: In that I used a gradient mask to blend the two pictures together, but you could just as easily make a straight diagonal cut on the mask instead, or whatever else you might want to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkjh Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Ah thank you for the quick response I understand how to blend them together, but I don't understand how to cut a gif in any other size from a square or a cirlce, let alone a diagonal or what you just did there!

donbot Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 What software are you using? Do you know how layer masks work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkjh Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I'm using Photoshop CS5. I have a very basic knowledge of it, but I can google the parts I don't understand I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbot Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 You can think of a mask as a screen that sits over a layer and controls which parts of it are visible. You work on the mask in black & white - anything in white means that part of the layer will be visible, and anything in black means that part of the layer will be hidden. Example - layer mask is completely white, so all parts of the layer are visible Example - layer mask is completely black, so all parts of the layer are hidden Examples - showing how all the black parts of the layer mask hide that part of the layer So in that other thread I linked before, I showed how to put one animation inside a layer group, and sitting on top of a second animation. All you have to do from there is add a mask to the layer group, then you can cut the topmost animation into whatever shape you want. I hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
