Photoshop sucks for animations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fucker wants to 'optimize'. Yeah, ruins the whole fucking picture with any option. Yes, I was using the damn animating program. It sucks! The only way to save as an animated gif file is to 'optimize'. This translates to FUCKING up the colors, FUCKING up the pics themselves. Optimize my ass! Perfectly good pics and FUCK! Doing 'dither' gives me dots from hell, and 'not dither' gives me weird ass funky colored BLURS! The only way to let it look decent is to tell it GRAYSCALE. Yeah, I did try all the options. Even messed with them. I was trying to make a little rotating pic for the sidebar. To rotate all the pics I got from the Inuyasha site. You know from the sidebar. I just wanted to have it rotate.
You know, when I animated with my U-lead I didn't have these kind of problems. Any pic on the header with dots or blurs is because that was the condition of the original. I'm sure Photoshop is fine and dandy for people who wanna pay lotsa money for it, but I'm keeping my free photo program that came with my scanner, it's better. I'll re-download Ulead and do my trial period. After that, I'll wait till after the holidays and order it.
  
  

As you can see, the image is small enough that not all errors in the translation are noticeable. However seeing the original and watching it makes you see how really fucked up the 'optimized' version is. This is without the dithering, the dots, On 128 colors. Trust me when I say the 64 and 32 colors is much, much worse. The dithering makes half the pics hard to tell what it looks like. This is bad, very bad when making animations. Especially as the original graphics look soooo much better than that. I'll put up a couple new ones on the sidebar and you can compare. One at a time, you'd have to check back. I decided to put the originals here. Can't see the sidebar well to compare and all that. As you can see now, the jpgs are very nice and full of detail and color. The 'optimized' version just sucks! |
