it would be super cool if anyone could sig me a small summer mantis totem for my sig. 150px height w/ transparent background and i'll add it in!

uh by "totem" what do you mean exactly? like are you referring to indigenous art designs, maybe a bit abstract, or do you just want a small pic of a mantis?

sorry i was using totem like the thing people hold up on sticks at music fest. a little icon i can add to the line like the play-doh mantis head from sext. animated, not animated, physical, digital, inspired by any post (beer, mantis, anagrams, old arcade ads) don't care as long as under 150px height with a background i can key out or is already transparent!

having a lot of fun with this and I thought of one more sig idea that made me lol but I think I need some help. I love abusing the hell out of frinkiac and I thought of a great simpsons gif that I wanted to make but it comes out strange when I download the gif and try to open it in Photoshop. Any suggestions. For reference, it's this one.

e: by strange I mean missing lots of pieces? It's difficult to explain really.

make sure you 'unoptimize,' this way each frame can be edited a little easier without trailers. If you're going to add stuff, also move it from 'indexed' color scheme to 'rgb'

any ideas on how you want to edit this bad boy i'll give it a shot

Hmm I'm not sure if that's what it is. This is how it appears in Photoshop after getting it from Frinkiac



So I feel like I'm missing a step somewhere.

When you export as a gif in GIMP you can set frames (layers) to either 'replace' or 'combine,' it looks like it's set to replace the first layer or something, maybe force them to combine all? Sorry I don't know PS very well I think Manifisto would be able to help but he's in jail

hmmm looks like there were some slightly weird things about the way the frame disposal was specified, also the color indexing

I'm curious, is this one easier to work with in photoshop? I actually use gimp for my gif editing, I don't have full photoshop only ps elements.



I have an unoptimized file too, but it's like 53 MB, kind of unwieldy to transfer/share (too big for imgur I think)


lol

Yes, that did it! Thank you! :D I downloaded GIMP too since I'd been playing with both so I could decide which one was easier to use. What was it you did in GIMP to fix it or get it to display properly? I'm guessing PS's default settings were causing it to render incorrectly or something.
Anyway, this was my original vision, made with the file you fixed for me.

since you haven't used gimp, you have to understand that animations in gimp require a bit of hackery . . . there's some basic support in there by default, and there are free extensions you can download that allow you to do kinda neat stuff, but none of it is particularly elegant interface-wise

so when you open a gif in gimp, it will open as a multilayer image. the names of the layers are what stores the information about how long each layer is displayed (e.g. "(100ms)") and the frame display mode (which will be either "(replace)" or "(combine)"). text that doesn't fit those formats is basically ignored when it comes to displaying the gif animation.

but! since this is kind of a hacky way to do it, if the layers are named in a way that the parser can't quite understand you get unexpected behavior. one that happens to me sometimes is that both "(combine)" and "(replace)" will end up in the layer name, you want to avoid that

when I opened up the simpsons gif in gimp, I noticed that a number of the layers were named slightly strangely (there was an exclamation point in parentheses, this apparently caused some weird behavior). I manually fixed them to avoid problems.

also, the simpsons gif you provided was, somehow, not in indexed color mode--at least not when gimp opened it up (it opened as rgb mode). this is strange to me as I thought gifs had to be indexed colors. I changed the image mode to indexed, 255-color palette, and allowed gimp to approximate colors by dithering. this removed some of the wallpaper color weirdness, although some of that weirdness (the "posterized" look) was in the original file and would probably have to be manually removed to smooth out

uh, as vanisher referred to I also unoptimized the image then re-optimized it, maybe unnecessary but it let me see what I was working with better

finally--I like what you did with the image!

you can add or edit frames without screwing up an entire gif by 'unoptimizing' the image once you open it, then optimizing it after you're done to save file size


File > Export As > (enter filename.gif) > Options menu opens up for forced frame delay or forced 'replace/combine'

All of this was really helpful! And yeah, I can see the use in making a "unoptimized" file in order to get the extra frames. I'll definitely refer to all of this info again the next time I download a new Simpsons gif.
As for the hackery, I'm 99% sure that most of this is done and can be done in PS, I'm just still trying to figure it out or I need to learn some of those terms so I know what to google for PS tutorials and get help on specific subjects
