Use bar creation forum

[Crixx_Creww]

Well, alot of people here do photoshop and general image work, and then others create usebars.

well i do a bit of both.

been working on my first use bar for a while and just started turning pics into gifs with the use bar size specification (height and width, to capture the whole pic in an animated gif) cool effect.

Now i thought up an idea, using an already animated gif and converting it into use bar size.
problem is, the gif is made up of 36 frames, now to turn into a use bar, i would have to cut each frame into 5 smaller frames, so i would end up with 180 frames to create the animated use bar image.

Now i think it would work, but i NOT gonna sit down and manually make 180 frames, lol, so anyone know a way to batch job converting those 36 frames into the 180 smaller frames?

Talk to Heady

ok i found out that image ready can automatically "slice" images into as many pieces yu want based on the horizontal and vertical dimensions yu set. You can also do it in photoshop using rulers and margins and the "stick to" feature, but its not automatic like image ready.


Now my new problem is that i still have to cut each slice out and save  the individual slices manually.

I read that there is an export feature that will export the slices as either individual sliced images or as images with html code linking but i cant figure out how to get teh damn thing done automatically.

Such a drag!! so any photoshop gurus, heady and the such, pleasee tell me how to export these slices automatically!
i have a gif that i reduced from 46 frames down to 10 frames, and the slices are of the size 40 by 19 for use bar standards but that means each frame gets split into 4, so thats still 40 frames i have to cut manually.

Help please!!

Ill put up the phoenix one i made from one frame
