I'm using Adobe Imageready CS2. I can't figure out why my guy looks invisible, and the text was supposed to be yellow, and it turned blue! Here's the image:

 

 

 

 

 

 

It looks fine when I view it in Imageready...any ideas?

Can anyone please help me with this?

it might be because its saved as a .gif

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

that changes color sometimes

probably because its gf but it might be because you're using imageready do everything in the regular one then animate the text in imageready.

have a look at the channels, make sure they are all checked

The only other thing it will let me save it in is .html...or am I supposed to save it in Photoshop? Photoshop has almost expired though...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And what are channels?

you go to file-save for web, to save it as a jpg/gif etc

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and channels are complicated, just go to window-channels and make sure all the boxes are checked

 

 

 

the channels normally come tabbed along with paths with the layer palette.

you cant save animation as anything that can be uploaded except gif.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

its because when you applied the blue to the back layer, you did it to te one where your guy is too.

Huh? I think I understand, but how can I fix it from there?

The following only applies if it looks fine playing before you saved it:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure that the .GIF is allowed to use all 256 colours, and If it is already, this means that there are 256 shades of blue already in there. In the save for web//save optimized dialoge, you should be able to choose manually which colours you would like to show up in the .GIF.
