PS CS5 and GIF animations..

[Windows7]

Hi,

A few days ago i had to make a document which i normally made with "Word(Microsoft Office",but since i use PS for a while i thought to make it now with photoshop but.. i use a lot of logos and now i saw most of them were GIF logos.. .

What took my attention was that PS was not that comfortable with GIF's to work with and Word did.. so i made it just with Word!

Can someone give me a reason how this is possible?

PS is for working with image but not with animation never did. You can make separate images for moving GIF and then merge them into one animated GIF by ImageReady.

That's not really accurate.
The last version of PS to have ImageReady was CS2.
In CS3, CS4, CS5 you go to the Window pull down and click on Animation.

This GIF was done in CS5.

Here's the PSD.
Play with it see how it works.

Hey folks,

This is what i mean.. again i thought i was wrong when i had read your replys and tried again and yes.. i can't EVEN drag the gif logo to my project.. what took my attention too is that instead of layer or background there writes "index" on the gif logo.But it isn't an animated gif or something!

Here's an image:



And in Word it is so easy.. it doesn't make any problem which kind of file it is.. .So i just made my document nice and easy with Word and here is the result what i mean:



I used a "Champions League" image as background.. .You see?The same logos and here not any problem?The only thing that bothered me was the white stroke around the logos which i prefer it is better without so only the logo but i couldn't solve it.

My fault. Didn't know they "blend" it in PS.

Guys.. stay ontopic please..

I don't understand a problem. Maybe because i use CS3. There isn't any problem (only some times transparency are not quite "good").
GIF always show INDEX because it's his color mode. Just select all image (CTRL+A) and copy/paste it in project.
Here quick made logo:

and here is copy pasted with one random logo from net:

Yeah I don't understand either.

What's the topic?
What's the question?

You said ".......PS was not that comfortable with GIF's to work with and Word did ....." , what does that mean?

Are you saying you are not able to do something in PS that you can do in Word?
If so what is it?

"Not that comfortable" isn't an explanation of the problem.

Are you trying to open an animated GIF in PS?
