Many of you know I've gotten in the habit of making .gif animation sigs. For the past three days I've been working on a massive one.

Current filesize = 3mb
Number of frames = 150 +
Hours of work = 18
Complete: 75%


It's because of this project that I haven't been here too frequently. It requires such a huge amount of ram that I can't do other things while I'm working. It no longer will be a sig because it's so large, but expect to see it probably by this friday. I promise to deliver.

Uh... how much RAM does your system have? o_o;;

2.3 ghz.

Notice, though, that while I'm working I am constantly alternating between photoshop and imageready. I have many .psd (?) files open in each, each using approx 50 mb. When transitioning back and forth with other programs open it becomes laggier then I can stand.

That sucks. My processor isn't much better...but I can do a little more multitasking than that. Don't know really, but perhaps it has something to do with the number of layers required.... Probably not, but I'm not that knowledgable with this stuff.

bah

Why are you using Imagready? Is it really that much better than Photoshop for moving gifs?

That's funny, because when I used to use 3d studio max (real RAM hog) I would have that, adobe photoshop open, and three different chat programs running at once, on 128 MB of RAM and a 200 mhz processor without seeing too much lag time.

Hm... Interesting.
