Gif animation quality

[Medyman]

For flash, that would work, assuming you bring in the original. But it would require flash support which is something you should avoid if possible.

Not necessarily, you could use the Flash program to create the animation and export as a GIF sequence.

GIF is the problem, so doing a number of steps and ending up with the same GIF wouldn't help much, would it?
You'd still be stuck with the 256 color limit, among other things.

That's completely irrelevant... I considered a "moderate spam" infraction, but I think you just didn't realise.

I have been making a gif animation in Adobe ImageReady.. The problem is, that the quality makes the gif dotted. I can't adjust anything that corrects it. ...

can we see the image(s)?

Set the pallete to include your specific color, or use colors that match that colors in the pallete.

Using GIF means you're limited to 256 colors, though you can choose which colors. It will try to guess which color or "dither" which is that dotting process, trying to match a middle color by using half pixels of one close color and half pixels of another closer color.
Image Ready should have an option to turn on dithering or just use a solid, best guess, color.

Photoshop Elements is better for making animated gifs. It supports all color..more than 256

[Twey]

Err, no, the 256-colour limitation is inherent in the GIF format, not any particular image editor. Moreover, computers aren't able to display 'all colour' (not that we could distinguish between the shades if it they could) because that would require a practically infinite amount of storage space to hold these high-precision colour values.

Photoshops save for web gives almost exact colors, but cant make animation. But imageready's save for web option didnt give the exact colors we need for animations. So I use an old version of Photoshop Elements for making animated Gifs. It gives almost every colors in the pdf layers. I mean gives the feel

[djr33]

Simply wrong, as Twey said. You're mistaken. I don't mean to sound too harsh, but that's the simple truth, unless you're using another format than gif.

[zuresh]

O. sorry it was my mistake.. sometimes I didn't checked well. anyway I didnt mean more than 256 colors in a single file's pellet though.
