    I'm using Adobe CS3 trial and I'm having the hardest time trying to find out how to save animation. I can set everything up perfectly and save it, yet when I view it it goes extremely slow. I'm not sure it's a flaw, but I'd really like to animate my signature. Anyone else experience this problem?

    I can't find anything on the internet about it either... probably because it's so new... but it's driving me insane! Any ideas?

    By the way, when I preview it (before saving it) in PS, it looks fine. Yet once I save it, it's like the frame per second drops to like 25% of what it was. Does that any sense?

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Actually... could a mod please move this into the Windows OS/Software board? Thanks. I just realized how misplaced this was. Not to mention I might get a few more replies there.

    You have to jump to ImageReady inorder to save as gif. Once you jump to ImageReady, used Save Optimized As.

    Actually that's only in CS2. In CS3, ImageReady's features were integrated into Photoshop.
