I've made animated .gifs before without this problem: I have taken 12 seperate .gif images, converted them to RGB mode, dropped them all into the same Photoshop file, and then jumped to Imageready to create frames for each layer. Upon clicking "Save Optimized As", I get the following warning:

"Because JPG, PNG, and WBMP do not support animation, Imageready will save only the current frame."

I don't understand what I've missed. All 12 original images were .gif. I had to convert them to RGB mode in order to create a 12 layer file, but don't think that is what is causing this issue.

Any ideas?

Open the "Optimize" dialogue window : WINDOW>Optimize.
Make sure that from that menu you have GIF selected.

And make sure that you've click onto the "Optimized" tab on the top left of your canvas window.

See if that helps. :B

Ken,

Welcome to the forum. I fear I'm baffled by the circumstances you describe but... Once you dragged all the individual GIFs to one Photoshop image so they are each on a different layer (and changed the file's Mode from Indexed Color... to RGB), did you save the file as a .psd file before hitting the Edit in ImageReady button?

Aha! theKeeper replied just before I did. I bet he's got it.

Thank you both for your replies. The problem is solved. I opened the Optimize palette as you suggested, and sure enough, it was not set ".gif". I'm up and running again!

Ken
