Background BMP GIF file images makes more?

In an effort to reduce the size of my Captivate file

1. I copied eleven background images in a film Captivate 4 and convert the BMP to GIF using Adobe Photoshop Elements files.

2. I then updated the backgrounds of appropriate slides (fifteen of them), replacing the files with the new files GIF BMP.

3. I have seen in the library base BMP files had been replaced by the GIF files. (The file size of each BMP background image was about 1200 KB, replaced by a background GIF image that is about 35 KB.)

4. I tried to select unused items in the library; There are not.

5. I registered the Captivate file and published it as a SWF, compressed.

To my surprise, the file Captivate with background GIF images was a little bigger. Shouldn't it made a huge difference in the size of the Captivate movie file? It should have been MUCH smaller. I have jump a milestone?

Hello and welcome to the forum,

When published Captivate will be compress the background images, the size you see in the library is much larger than the image size after compression. Did you compress the size of the file yourself by editing and changing to GIF (would never do that myself because the GIF format is limited to 256 colors, there is never more than 8 bits). But probably there are not a lot of possibility to the left of compression, which means that your published SWF file would be larger in size. I try to explain that your compression is less effective than the automatic compression performed by CP himself. Leaving sets original you will also choose a slide for each individual slide quality: default value is low 8 bits which is OK if you don't have any images of high quality and lead to the smaller file size. To the slides that are in need of a better quality, you can choose one of the 3 best options. I do not use Photoshop Elements myself, but Photoshop and do not know how many colors you kept for the GIF? I suspect you could have maybe a bit more small size if you try to reduce the number of colors where possible.

Just a tip: PNG is a much better compression than GIF (and JPEG) graphic file format.

  • I need to find a way to compress my files to make more space on my c drive

    I have cleaned and removed as much as I can and am scared to delete some files on h don't know not which ones I can safely remove, I have an external hard drive that I use, and I was also wondering if I can not transfer my drive c on the files to this one, or is there a way that I can compress all the files from c drive to acquire more space... Please help me to make more room.

    Don't you cannot transfer (unless theyre documents) files on the external hard drive. For information on the programs must be in the registry to work. And copy it to the external hard drive used to do. Only thing to do is to reformat the external and use instead (put it in the case)

  • C drive is too full of windows files, they make more concise?

    My old computer is running xp and has a 20 GB C drive.  I also have an external hard drive 500 GB, where I store most of the data files.  I run C cleaner and remove programs, I do not use.  My drive is too full to defragment, and I don't have enough space to install office Pro 2007 for work.

    The composition of my C drive includes; 7.1 GB Windows, 2.6 Docs & settings, 2.5 GB of program files, 2.2 GB System Volume Information, 1.1 GB of files and the rest is negligible.  I suspect a lot of windows stuff could be deleted, but do not know how to determine what is important.

    I would disable restoring the system to the outside you don't need on this

    Is that hibernation .

    Lowering of the system restore on C has nothing to do with the external hard drive. It will have its own settings. If you use your external for backup, I wouldn't bother with system restore. System Restore is generally used for programs that have been installed. Or maybe if your system is infected with something (you turn it off)

    The only thing system restore is good because houses viruses / Trojan / malware. If your system is infected. I would like to turn it off

  • Issue export. GIF file using Fireworks

    I am very new to Adobe Fireworks and has no proper training with her. I train only myself.

    Here's the problem: my boss sent me a PNG file, and then sliced his layer. I already have the layer that needs editing. The editing part is over. However, when I exported a. GIF file to bitmap and use a website button, the police of the text and its color has changed. Even when I use the original PNG file, it looks good on Fireworks, but when I exported a. GIF file (to make as one of the button of the site), the police has changed along with its color. Is this a bug with Adobe Fireworks CS5 or it has something to do with ALIAS? Mine is automatically set to smooth anti-aliasing. And once again, it seems perfect on the Fireworks, but when the exported GIF file is opened from the folder where the file has been exported, it is already different.

    Sorry to be redundant at times. I just want me to delete because I'm not really familiar with the terms. I hope someone can help and I would really appreciate it.

    Thank you and GOD BLESS you!

    It seems that the probem is an anti-aliased one. When you export GIF files, choose the Alpha transparency and select a matte color that matches the background color of the HTML page on which you will place the image.

  • How can I keep my visible background layer when you create a GIF file in Adobe Photoshop elements 11?

    I am trying to create a GIF in Adobe Photoshop elements 11.  To give you the objective of the final result - I am trying to create the illusion of dog legs walking on a yellow background.  Each image individual leg is a separate layer on the yellow background.  I want my background layer to ALWAYS show during the animation.  In ADDITION, I want each paw image to stay on the yellow background that he hosts (if possible).  Here are the steps that I took:

    1. I have my background layer (yellow background)
    2. I layered all the other images on the top (8 paw print images)
    3. I placed these images where I want them on the background layer

    I know that to create a GIF file, I go to 'Save the image for the web', select GIF and click "animate".  The problem is when I preview the animation, it's a single image at a time, instead of the overlay and keeping them on the screen as the animation progresses.

    At the very least, I want the yellow background to show during the animation.  I can live with that if the paw prints don't stay on ;-)

    I would appreciate any insight/help!  Thank you!

    I think that you need to merge each layer with your yellow background, and then try again the gif.

    In other words, put the yellow background under each layer and merge the top layer with the yellow background.

    When you run Disk Cleanup, it will remove all unwanted files that you selected from the system. If you have personal files on the system to remove, you can check for this purpose in the drive and remove it and see if it helps.

    From your description, I suspect that you have selected Open Documents as tabs in the Interface preferences section.

    Your first image doesn't go away, but is in tabs at the top of the images.

  • A break at the end of a gif file

    So I'm wanting to create a looped gif in photoshop.  I have several layers of film with the mixture and keyframes to create a perfect loop.  When I hit the space bar button for play in the timeline, it plays and repeats as expected.

    Screen Shot 2016-04-22 at 10.25.21 AM.png

    When I save to the web as a gif file, I put it a loop forever.  Once it's done export, I get a gif, but I a very long pause at the end of the gif before it begins to roll again.  I found that it might be a delay of image on the first or the last frame of the animation.  So I changed the chronology of video animation of image editing.  I noticed the first delay of framework has been defined in the animation of image, 28.23 seconds.  So I changed which a.03 like all the others.

    Screen Shot 2016-04-22 at 10.28.49 AM.png

    But when I leave the animation image and return to the video editing, my layers are converted and is no longer where I had them.

    Screen Shot 2016-04-22 at 10.31.18 AM.png

    So I thought maybe it's because I changed the first delay of frame, my layers became out of sync. I went back in history and started my project to the point where my diapers were in the right position.  I then returned to the animation of image and video editing without changing anything, and my layers did the same thing as before.

    Finally, I tried to make my layers as a single play mov file.  Once it has been exported in mov format, I imported this file in photoshop and tried to make a gif of this layer of 1 / 1 file.  Same problem as before... long pause in the loop.

    Anyway, the main problem is preventing the long break after the end of the gif, until she begins to roll again.  Any advice on what I might be missing would be great.

    Here's the gif with the long break.

    www.beaugureaufood.com/online/Clip0162-from-mov-file.gif

    To make it even more fun, the link above doesn't seem to be a loop, yet the file in my browser performs.

    Do not use Quicktime .mov quicktime is poor and go away and is a security exposure.

    Do not create an animated gif.

    To make what you want as an animation image would be difficult to create. You create layers for frames each of the video layer. Define modes for all layers of high level, leaving the normal background layers of fusion. Set up the right number of frames in the animation frame panels then together what layer are visible in every frame.

    You'll wind upward with a large animated GIF file that has the wrong color and no audio.

    You'd be much better rendering on a video h.264 mp4 which will color much better, can have audio, and can be played in a loop auto speed controls and the playback volume in a HTML5 video page.  Restore all what you seem to be in your video editing. An h.264 MP4.

    The file size will be much smaller than an animated gif file or .mov.  Performance will also be better.

  • Dragging several gif files to an HTML page

    I used to be able to drag 100 or more GIFs in a Dreamweaver html page empty (in the CS6 version) in a single action (directly from Windows Explorer to Dream weaver. Now at some point since creative Clod was released, he ceased to be available, and I get a message saying that " Dreamweaver cannot open the .gif files. "Please choose HTML, XML or other compatible files." So I manually switch the import process one at a time (choose Insert > choose image, open the folder, select gif file (only, it will not allow multiple selection, click OK, and repeat that 100 times).) What was formerly take 10 seconds can now take more than an hour.

    Is there a way to get around this without having to import an image file at a time?

    This feature still exists, but you must be in "Design" mode and no split or live view to make it work.

    I have the macbook pro (OS 10.6.8) and the iphone 6 s. The latest version of iTunes is 11.4. When it is connected to the MAC, I get the message that itunes must be upgraded. How to synchronize or import/export files(images/music)?  Fact is need to update itunes?

    Hi sonalnj,

    I understand that you cannot synchronize your iPhone as iTunes is requested it must be updated. I can help you with that.

    According to the technical specifications for a 6 s iPhone, you need a Mac running OS X v10.8.5 or later version with iTunes 12.3 or later. Because you are on OS X 10.6.8 your version of iTunes is up to date with this OS.

    iPhone 6 s Tech Specs
    http://www.Apple.com/iPhone-6s/specs/

    Now to fix that, you need to update your Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion or OS X 10.11 El Capitan. If you want to go to the Mountain Lion, you can do it with the first link below. The cost will be $19.99 and a code will be delivered to you if you can download it via the Mac App Store. Once you have upgraded, be sure to make all software updates to go with him to get the latest version of iTunes.

    OS X Lion mountain
    http://www.Apple.com/shop/product/D6377Z/A/OS-x-mountain-lion

    Now the other option is to move to OS X 10.11 El Capitan, and is a free update that you can do right in the Mac App Store, if you meet the system requirements. Take a look at the following article for more details on how to do it.
