Oh my gosh thank you!!! I'm already using it as my avatar~!
Although I have a tiny dot in the top left corners of the icons I make, do you know how to get rid of them?

They are probably dots on a certain layer that you forget to erase !
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I actually checked back on the gif on CS5 and it's actually supposed to be transparent after I checked all the layers.

Aha, nevermind! I somewhat figured how to fix it by changing the Matte to none since it was originally on white when I downloaded it!

Hi, sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you optimize on photoshop CS5? I tried "Save for Web & Devices", but it looks like the colors were messed up a bit
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah it is Save for Web & Devices. Make sure the options is still GIF 128 Non-Dithered.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What do you mean combine frames?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
like...
the animation frames.
On the tutorial, it says "combine them together!... ok"
so i was a bit confused, just assuming you meant the frames, which, if you didn't, i apologize. uwu
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, I meant you could combine different types of animations together eg. blinking and waving tail ^^ nothing technical there! Move on! heheh.

I have a question. How do you get both the twinkling star thing and the blinking to go on at the same time?? I'm so confused at that point >.<'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do the twinkling first, then go back and do the blinking if it's easier. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I figured it out. But, I pretty much did what you said anyways!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
just a question: How do you save the optimizing? Where exactly is it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
File > Save Optimized As... in Imageready. ^^ What version do you have?
