Title: [Urgent!] GIF behaves odd.
Post by: Fox on March 02, 2009, 07:34:25 pm: Here is one of my deviations:

It looks all fine in Firefox and IE, but when I download and open it in an editor or Photoshop, most every frame is screwed up, and the outcome (which is always bad) depends on the editor.

Why is this? What can I do? I only need to remove the "No More Heroes"-logo that drives by at the end.

Help is very much appreciated.

I once opened a Gif file though that wasn't animated a long time ago and for some reason the image stretched taller when I did so even though the preview showed it fine - and it was fine unless I edited it. I guess Gif files have issues.

I would LOVE for you to do this for me and upload or send me the file as soon as possible.

I tried opening it in MS GIF-animator, and the old problems remained. Maybe it's just my PC. So please, anyone, help is appreciated!

I used Adobe ImageReady witch comes with Photoshop CS2.

I leave this topic open in case anybody can explain what my problem was and if there is a way to fix/avoid it.
