Photoshop GIF Help

[frakshad]

Hello all,

I am trying to edit a gif file in photoshop
The original gif just had the ball rolling in, however, i have edited this and made the ball open up
The problem is there is a faint outline of the original image behind the edited part of the image as seen below

Any ideas on what this is, and/or how to be rid of it?


Thank you,
Frakshad

Revert back to your psd layer files... you may have had an unwanted layer visible in the last few frames. Or a layer mistakenly merged into the open ball layer without you realizing it.

This is my guess and it could be wrong. I took a look at the gif. You have a ghosting effect layer, which occurs at layer 104, resulting from where you masked the upper red portion of the ball. This could be from not using pure black for the mask. This is then propagated through the rest of the frames (156....WOW!).

Of course I don't have the PSD from where you created the open ball. But check your masking of the upper red area of the ball.

Once you have repaired the mask, delete all subsequent layers (104 through 156). Once the ball is open and you add back your light flare effect, you only need one single frame to the end, set the timing on the frame to last the desired length of time and then you don't need the extra 100+ frames!
