Description This tutorial is so fucking... long... it's not funny. >.> You can pretty much skip the first few parts and go straight to 'animation' if you like.

Here's hoping this helps someone!!

When I save an animated emote, what do I save it as, I only get the option of jpg or html, yours shows gif. It won't animate when I upload to dA.

Are you going to Save As, or Save For Web and Devices? That might be your issue.

(Or alternatively, what PS are you using? >.>)

Adobe Photoshop Extended CS3.

And, I found out the issue, on the page that pops up when I click I clicked Save for Web and Devices I had to change the file type under the preset section(that in the tutorial you said not to touch) from jpg to gif. I got it working now, see-[link]

It was very fun and the guide was very useful.

Wow - I totally don't get half of it, but it's really helpful looking. XD As in, if I had Photoshop, it would definitely make perfect sense.
