Step 4: Final Steps
   

Once you have animated your image it is time to save it and place it in your webpage. With Photoshop this is a very easy process. Follow the simple steps below.

  1. Photoshop allows you to optimize your animation prior to saving.
  2. Several different options of optimization are available. Options show different levels of dither, # of colors, image quality and file size.
  3. Use these options to mix and match to obtain the best quality of your animation.
  4. After you have reached an acceptable level of quality from the ImageReady program in Photoshop select File, Save Optimized As.
  5. Name and save your file appropriately.
  6. You can now insert the image into any webpage.
  7. You do not need to do any other programming for the animation to work.
  8. You may be able to resize the animated image if necessary but be aware that it may distort the effects of the animation.
