Is it possible to save animations as an animated GIF, so you can mobilize it out of photoshop?

The Displacement map is a really great addition to the snow, however it slows down the animation ALOT and increases the file size when i try to save for web and devices by alot also, my document is only 350×150 px at 72 dpi and it’s still at a hefty 3mb, doesn’t sound like much, but i doubt anybody wants to wait around for about 5 minutes while my picture loads, it may also annoy people who don’t want me wasting their bandwidth.

Is there a way i can optimise the animation without loosing too much detail?

I wish I could make those animations on my pics but it doesn’t appear that version 7.0 has those capabilities.

I have only been working with Photoshop Elements 5 and have been able to animate snow, but only a blinking type of snow. I viewed your tutorial and wow, great. Will I be able to do this with Photoshop CS3?

Thank you.

I’ve done this tut and added another layer with small snow behind with displacement also to get that feeling of depth and it looks great in CS3, it is 800 pix wide and 72dpi but when I save for the web, and want it to loop, it runs out of memory. It’s only 4 seconds long and I have a 2gig processor and 4 gigs of ram. I can’t figure out how to get it to save as looped. it will either run just 4 seconds, or not allow me to save.. basically all it has to do is start over.. but with the timeline, I don’t see where to get it to do that .. What am I doing wrong? I don’t have fireworks so basically need help

Frickin’ brilliant! I had figured everything out on my own except for the displacement map.
