For the beginners it is going to be a tougher one and
obviously you are going to struggle while saving the file to GIF format in
Adobe ImageReady. I had spent a lot of time on internet and i found some links which shows how to overcome this but they aren’t much
descriptive. So i thought of describing
step by step here.
Usually if you are going to save the file in ImageReady it
gives you a “save as” dialogbox, where you won’t find option of “GIF”. It
always asks you to save as “.PSD” format. If you want the GIF Animation to work
then the only option is to save it as GIF. So how can we do
this……..?????????????
Here are the simple steps.
1. Have a look at the image below.
2. If you look at the
image, you can see that there are some options on the top like original,
optimized,2-up,4-up.These are the options showed by the ImageReady when you
open the file.
3. Click on “optimsed” option.
4. If you see the
picture as shown below, then you need to change the settings. As
you can see the image(below) lost its color information.
5. To change the settings.Observe the windows that are
displayed on the right hand side of your Adobe ImageReady window, where you
will see the small windows(See the image below). You can find the window which has the options(Info,Optimise,Layercomps).
6. If you won’t see the window, you can manually select from
the “window” menu from the tool bar and select the “optimize” option so that
the window gets displayed.
7. Select "optimize" option, you can see the “Format” and “Preset” options. Go to the Format option
select “GIF”. You can try a variety of options. When you select the option your
picture will be immediately changes it’s color in “Optimze” view. See the images below which show the difference between the images “before setting the options”
and “after setting the options”.
I hope this will solve your problem while saving..............
