Re: Animated GIF 2004-06-23 - By northwatchmantech

Thanks Jack,
That does seem to be the problem. I have imageready but get an
unknown error when trying to open the file. If I open it in photoshop
and then transfer to imageready, it wants it converted to an RGB
image from the indexd image. But then all I have is the first image.
I have not worked with ImageReady that much and the Photoshop book is
not very understandable (at least to me).
I have tried looking for a freeware but cant find any that allow
frame rate changes without having to pay to register the software
(otherwise I get there text over my image).
Thank you again Jack.
