Ok, well... As you can tell by the title, I hav ea few PS questions.
First question.. Would anybody know why that after I save an image in PhotoShop, the image is much darker than what it was while making it? It doesn't look dark in the actual PhotoShop program, but when I go to the image slideshow, or even if I open the image in GIMP (either as a .psd, or any other file I saved it as), it is much darker than what it was supposed to be. I'm not sure why it's doing it, but would any of you have any idea?
Second question... How do I make an animation in PS? And while making an animation... What function do I use to make something fade in/out?
Thanks for the help, it's greatly appreciated =).

I don't know about the first question but as for animation, just go to window>animation to open the animation window. You have to make the fading in and out text frame by frame by changing the opacity of the text in each frame

Ah, ok. Thanks XD (Dunno why you couldn't have told me on MSN when I asked =P) And maybe someone else can help me on the darkening issue... Otherwise that's really a bummer... I don't want ALL of my images being dark -.-

Please provide a few screenshots, as that is the best way to get support for a problem here. As for the Animation, it's quicker and simpler than XD said 1) open your image in ImageReady (Shift+CTRL+M) 2) Open up the Animations Pallet by going to Window --> Animation 3) Duplicate the Current frame by hitting the button on the Animations Pallete. 4) On this frame, change the oppacity of the layer you want to fade to 0 (on the layers Pallete) 5) Now, Holding Shift, make sure both frame 1 and 2 are selected. 6) Now, hit the tween button. (Next to the Duplicate Frame Button) 7) Now, change the frames to add to what you want. The lower the number, the faster the animation. 8) Hit ok. 9) Now, duplicate FRAME ONE again and move the new frame to the end. 10) Now, do Steps 6-8 again for the last two frames. 11) Now, you have the animation, but you want to see it, right? To do this, hit CTRL+ALT+P to preview it. It will come up in your default internet browser (at the time you got photoshop) and play non-stop. 12) In the preview is the ONLY time you can safe in .gif format properly. Right click on the image and click "Save As" And now you know the basic principle behind Animation

Ah, ok, thanks. Well, if you go here and compare that same graphic to the one I posted on here then you can see for yourself about what I mean, the graphic is, for some reason, darker than it should be. I don't know why it stayed lighter on here, than it did in the first link, but it's very odd, and very annoying. But the main thing I was talking about that after I save it in PS (in any fileformat) and then either open it from the folder that its in into the slideshow view, or even in GIMP, it's much darker than it's supposed to be. I'll post a few more screens when I have time (I'm posting this at my house over lunch for school LOL.)
