Hi you all. I'm new here and I need help. I just started dealing with Photoshop and ImageReady receantly and I don't know nothing almost yet, but I'm getting better. Anyways, I did this little animated ad with Image Ready and for some reason it saves it in a very weird way. Can somebody please let me know what i'm doing wrong and how to fix it? Does anybody knows how to make it look normal in color?
Thanks.

A couple of possibilities come to mind. As for the color, you might check to make sure what color mode you were in when you saved the images. For the graininess it may have been the quality/optimization you saved at.

For some reason when I save it as GIF, it turns out weird

You say I change the color setting... Where and how do I do that?

Thanks again.

Thanks man, but whatever I change there doesn't seem to work it doesn't do anything. Here's what's in there

Settings: [Unnamed]
GIF ---------------------- Lossy:0
Custom ------------------Color:4
Diffusion ---------------- Dither:100%

Can you tell me what change to what? I'm sorry, I'm really new to this.

Is the the color you need to change? I think the setting you have there is telling it to use only four colors while saving as a GIF: black, white, and two shades of gray. I'm almost sure that's the problem. Raise the color number. You can go up to 256....
