I try to load this gif into a contest but it won't...I just get the error message.
I've tried 500x500 65b, and 800x800 192kb....nothing I try is working! Any ideas???
This is made in CS3 Extended not Image ready, I don't know if that makes a difference...

Tried to make as big as I could so you could see..

Q: What kind of image files can I enter?
A: In most contests images must be a JPEG or a GIF file. The size of the file must be under 125kb in actual size. JPEG image dimensions must be less than 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels high. Animated GIFs must be less than 550 wide by 450 high. If you are getting an error message, try reducing the file size and/or dimensions just a bit and then uploading again. Upgrade Your Account to a PSC Advantage to break free of these limitations!

That is great...I have advantage "Guess I have to break free still!"
I will try even smaller and report back...





Ok, just tried again at 400x400 @ 78.3kb and still error...

you can fake a square... just add white or some other color to the space you don't want to use and just keep your action area to the square

Thanks for that Whimsea, I don't think I'll make anymore gifs after this tho...what a pain
( Great Gif..Looks very good at that size )

thanks... it's worth it to keep trying to do gifs - in my opinion. I've even been able to use my new skill at work!

and if you need help with gifs, just ask any of us that do them frequently.

Makin' the gif isn't bad, just getting what you wan't entered is.

( I like looking at the gifs here, some damn good one's. ) I'll keep your PM in speed dial, thx again.

I got that line as well, as long as it says your images have been updates successfully, you are set. And you can go and check it out, by clicking on the image to see how it looks online.

And don't be put off by all this. You will get used to the quirks here.

Ok good, I'm not the only one .. and I'm already over it, I'm easy going...but thx

I think everyone should have to at least try doing a gif, just to show how hard they are to make.... Before I tried, I was very bias against them.... Now just ask Tofu

and Nik you ever need help, I'm always available.

this one didn't win, one of my favs though, only the fly is an outside source.
