Try working in ImageReady rather than Photoshop. That is where the animation tools are.
The .gif I have is already animated. I just want to make the picture smaller. Is there a way to resize it and keep the animation?
First let me say thank you for trying to help. I opened ImageReady and opened my file. There is a box where I could choose to change the resolution size and I made the width and height 1/2 the size they were. Then I selected the 3 animation files and chose File, Save Optimized As. Then when I open the image file I saved, it is 3 files that are each part of the picture and are animated. I can’t figure out how to get the file to save a one. Thanks again
Do a search for "animation" and "gif" in the help file
I did that and also followed the instructions (I thought) in the Adobe in a Classroom Book. I still ended up with 3 files. Maybe it is because I made the file smaller.
Were all three files GIF files (can you see the extensions). IR might be making an HTML file that contains the GIF.
I think you are approaching it wrong. Open the file in ImageReady. Ignore the Animate or other palettes, go to Image>Image Size and resize (the whole file) Save Optimized as (name). it should retain all the animation but just be smaller. One file only.
Hi Ed, You were right !!! I was making this too hard. I did what you said and it worked :)) I learned a lot, thanks so much. Brenda
Parhaps:
1 – Image > Image size
2 – optimise animation
3 – save optimised as …
Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the info.
I need to create a ‘power point’ presentation for television airing.
I was told to create the ‘power point’ using photoshop and the animation tool.

Get correct, precise and clear information.
Hiring someone with the experience is also a possibility.
If yo have questions about Photoshop Elements, I suggest the Elements forum, just down the hall
