    @Jared904: I never said Adobe software couldn’t do GIFs, I said you needed Imageready, which was the case Back In The Day (7 / CS1). The process was, as I recall, much the same as your description. I was never an expert on this stuff though.

    I haven’t really made GIFs since then so I suppose they may have merged that function into PS. It would be much more reasonable, because nobody I know ever used Imageready.

    Didn’t make it, but it’s still a surefire way to drive people batty…

    edit: hmm, doesn’t have quite the same effect when it’s shrunk down to fit Gawker’s absurdly-narrow comment tables.

    @Jared904: So you know all that shit and yet you refer to it as “Adobe?”
    I’m guessing your computer runs “Microsoft,” and you do all your office productivity stuff in “Microsoft.” But wait, what do you do your video editing in? Oh, right, “Adobe.”
    And how about your vector graphics? “Adobe,” yet again. What about video effects? Yup, “Adobe.”

    So what do you drive, a GM?

    @darthchurro: Glad you liked it. You have to admire technique like that, amIright?

    Or maybe it was the source material. We named him ‘Bubba’ for a reason…

    @Jared904: You probably lost most people who have never actually seen Photoshop open at “In CS5…”

    @Jared904:

    Of course, if Ray was looking for bootleg CS5 master suites… of course I’d have nothing to know about that -_-

    @Wunno Sev:

    Adobe is a very powerful piece of software. To say it can’t do .gifs is to say Apple can’t sell Chinese scrap to sheep.

    In CS5 you first create the image you like using as many layers as you can. Whatever you want to move needs to be layered. If your starting with an actual picture, use the magnetic lasso to cut things out into layers.

    Then go to Window Animation

    A small bar opens across the bottom. You can now duplicate your picture into seperate frames moving, hiding, and showing different layers in different locations to give the effect you want.

    If you want something to move linear, then you can use the Tween feature (No… not CP). put the object where u want it to start in one frame, then in the next one put it where you want to end. Right click on the 2nd frame, select Tween, and make your adjustments. You can select how fast and over how many frames your object moves. Wham Bam Turkey Slam, you got a moving picture.

    To make it into a legit .gif, go to File Save for Web & Devices.

    Save as a .gif

    Enjoy.

    @Jared904: As I recall, you actually need to use Imageready. GIMP had one that was easier to use but less powerful. It’s been a while since I did it though.

    I made one in 1999. Give me about four weeks and I could probably make another.

    Yes, I realize this is probably not what you were looking for…

    @Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer: I was expecting either a new version of that, or perhaps Ray having his way with a fast automobile…

    I think I still have a gif somewhere of Ray when he was last on TV that someone animated his mouth and made him say Blah Blah Blah.
