Animated gif shenanigans

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me.

I found an animated gif online. I want to be able to obtain a specific frame of the gif to use as a separate image. I have both Photoshop and Illustrator CS4. Is it possible for me to do what I want, since I didn't create the animated gif and don't have any of the source images?

    You can try using Jasc Animation Studio, it has a 30 day trial and I really like the interface.

    For Adobe products, I think you need a specific one, both you listed can't open all images in a gif file iirc.


    *Jasc Animation shop.

    Use the "Print Screen" button and time it really nicely.

    Imageready can do this, so recent versions of photoshop should too (since imageready is no more.) Open the gif in photoshop and then hunt for the animation pane.

    You should be able to do this in photoshop: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/11.0/WSC79F5E60-3E9B-44e3-8DDF-0FF1144F5711a.html

    I might give this a shot later to see how well it works in practice.

    GIMP can definitely do it. What it does is it separates each of the frames into layers (newer frames over older frames). I presume Photoshop has a similar set-up.

    Seconding Gimp. Just open the file like any other.
