Trying to create a GIF animation in PS CS2. Image is RGB Color, antialiased white graphic on black background.
Got each frame in a different layer, with no transparency. Want 4 colors, one of them (black) mapped transparent.
I want 4 colors:
Black (mapped transparent)
Dark Grey
Light Grey
White
Save for web. Select GIF. Color table shows the four colors I want. Select the black swatch. Hit the "map selected colors to transparent" button. I now have three colors in the color table:
Med Grey
White
Black (transparent)
That’s two colors, plus black mapped transparent.
If I instead check the transarency box I get three colors plus transparent, but there’s no transparency in the image, so I still have to map black to transparent. In this case I get:
Med Grey
White
Black (transparent)
transparent
That’s two colors, plus black mapped transparent, plus transparent.
Is there a way to get:
Black (mapped transparent)
Dark Grey
Light Grey
White
??
Thanks
