Is there any way to create a "perfect" GIF animation from a .psd? I am talking about a no quality loss. Using optimize options or whatever.

[coolaid]

in short. no.

thers always dither. but just work with the settings. i never lose noticable quality when i created gifs (animated or not).

Well, I tried everything but its not working out, I wonder what your Optimize Options might be. Could you post a SS?

gif can't have perfect quality. If you want to get more quality, you need to go to Flash (Flash Video Files for exemple can be encoded at high quality).

The only "perfect" format is Bitmap for still image and "Full Frames Uncompressed" for videos.

hows that... and thats extra image loss becuase its a screenshot of an already dithered image

Hm .. Damn the animation I'd like to present using the .GIF format didnt turn out very well. There was a mistake during the free transform part of the blade circle. Even though I made the middle of the image the angle point of my transformation,in the end it didn't match. I wonder if there was some kind of mistake :S. If I make a 360° turn using the middle of an image as the angle point should result in the same image shoulnd it?
