Title: saving as gif in photoshop cs 5.5?
Post by: Snake X on August 01, 2011, 08:14:28 pm

It seems when I go to file->save as in photoshop cs 5.5 I do not see the CompuServ GIF option listed under file formats. I absolutely NEED to save my file as gif as there is transparency involved and TIFF will not work.

edit: I had the image in 16 bit, chaged to 8 bit and gif option appeared. Weird. THIS TREAD CAN BE NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKED :P

simpler way. just choose save for web in the files dialog. this needs to be done for animated gifs ^_^ and it allows better compression/other things.

If you're going to keep discussing this, maybe the topic should be unlocked. :P
