Let's face it. GIFs are amazingly inferior in quality to PNGs -- but PNGs don't support animations. So what do ya do when you want to create high quality animated images? And honestly, Flash is a little too complex for image-work - not to mention it doesn't properly support Photoshop's features; namely layers, frames, masks, transparency, gradients, etc. So what do we do???

Actually there is a way to animate png files, but at the moment, I don't think it is a wise idea.

Don't quote me, but I don't think all browsers support it... and I don't think they are actually animated "images" so to speak...

I have not read a whole lot about it, but I had run across it accidentally.

SVG? Never heard of it. Is it supported by Firefox and Internet Explorer? What about Safari?

And does Photoshop support it?

I just saw Animated PNGs. Very impressive, but it doesn't work with Internet Explorer. And the file size is huge!

I'm not sure what version you are using, but Adobe Flash CS3 supports all these things. I believe Macromedia Flash 8 as well. :penguin:

Gruzz Profil: Moderator	Posted on 11-16-2008 at 04:43:23 PM Why not? When I use File - Import - Import to Stage, it works great. You can even choose how you want to import the layers from Photoshop.

uttaresh The Penguin Master Profil: Penguin Pro	Posted on 11-16-2008 at 07:38:26 PM That's great, but now try it with an animated PDF file with Frames AND Layers, vectors, gradients, masks and filters. Doesn't come out right. --------------- Glomping the internet populace. One forum at a time.

uttaresh The Penguin Master Profil: Penguin Pro	Posted on 11-17-2008 at 02:17:54 PM OK, I'm PMing it to you. EDIT: Hmmm... can't find the one I was talking about... maybe I deleted it. But believe me, you cannot import it right. Message quoted 1 times Message edited by uttaresh on 11-17-2008 at 02:21:06 PM --------------- Glomping the internet populace. One forum at a time.
