Hello!

I can't seem to save anything as a GIF file on Photoshop, not even regular ol' GIF images I haven't modified at all. It's not listed as a possible extension in the Save As window. I've had this problem before, I believe, but I don't remember what I did to fix it! Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

Are you working in CMYK mode? Try converting image to rgb or index

Nope, it's not doing the trick. Frown

go to file --> save for web. You can then select gif and save it that way.

It's not actually allowing me to Save for Web, either! (This option is greyed out on the menu.) I'm so confused!

Well, after double-checking to see that I was neither running a trial version nor trying to save a 32-bit file, I finally opened the setup file again and "reinstalled" extension files. I probably didn't do this in the first place. :) But it lets me save now! Sorry to have troubled you with my stupidity! Thanks for all your suggestions!
