Question
I try to save as .gif an animation that i have made in photoshop 8 cs3 extended but when it saves it  a question pop ups saying that if it will save the animation effects will be discard.Can u help ??

Answer
Stergios,

You should be saving using the File>Save for Web command and not the Save As. You should be saving a copy as a Photoshop (.psd) file to refer back to for editing and using the Save for Web to export your GIF animation.

Thanks
