Default opening .gif in PS

have been through the help thing ... which is no bloody help (they must be related to Microsoft).

How do you unlock a .gif image in Photoshop? Have tried with various images but I can't get them to unlock.

What do you mean by unlock, Sal? I've never encountered that problem before with a .gif image.

Email one over to me if you like and I will see if I can open it for you while we wait for someone who knows about unlocking to come along!

What do you mean by unlock Sally? Is it an animated gif that you are trying to get the frames/animation for? If so, that's not possible as far as I'm aware, as gifs are an optimised format for web use...

Greg

Hi Greg, no they are images from a blog theme and the layer just won't unlock and I want to change the colour.

I have the PSD file which I downloaded but it would be easier to change the gifs.

Hi Sally,

Perhaps you are looking to grab the elements from the piece of artwork? If so, it will be better that you ask for the file in PSD format in layers.

Hi Kay, I have the PSD in layers but I'm not finding all the pieces that are in the images file, some are just rounded corners and I need to change the colour.

I have a folder with all the images that make up the page but the gif ones just won't unlock.

Hi Sally,

Feel free to e-mail me the PSD and what you want changed and I'll take a quick look
greg(at)gregfindley.com

Thanks,
Greg

EDIT- From the sounds of it, you will need to change the colours in the PSD then cut out the various images and save for web as gifs, as it sounds like you have the full page PSD for the theme and then the separate images as gif files

Thanks Greg, have emailed one. I have lots to do but if you could just look to see why they won't unlock that would be so helpful.

Hi Sally,

GIF images aren't locked as such, when you save an image as a gif it will merge all the layers, so it is just one layer. Send me the PSD and all the seperate gifs (so I can get sizes correct) you need changing and I'll do them for you,

Greg
