Graphics help

[ncwriter]

I am running WinXP and the only graphics program on my computer is Photoshop. That usually works find but in working with web pages, I want to use GIF backgrounds and GIF animations. The thing is, when I try to import one, I get a batch of gibberish. When I look at the file icon, I see the icon of Microsoft Windows. Does anyone have any idea why? I've just downloaded FastStone Image Viewer, hoping to fix the problem. Any help from anyone?

Photoshop can do GIF's...I would suggest a quick call to Adobe support to resolve this issue.

Actually I tried Photoshop. It did all the transferring and saving, but when I looked at it in the folder, it still had a Word icon. What finally happened is that I found FastStone Image Viewer, a free utility, and it had a way to batch convert all the GIFs in my Documents folder. After I did that, all the GIFs had a blue bar across them and the word GIF imprinted.

Thanks for trying to help.
