Transparent background gifs, how do you get into the select mode and specify which (layers) are to be transparent?

Is it possible to make a image that is so powerful it gives people seizures?

Make an animated gif that cycles through the prime colors extremely fast.

[edit]Works best if it takes up the whole screen, and if it won't give you a seizure it will give you a headache I've tried it.[/edit]

Jok3r, to create a transparent background on your gif, you must first create a new image with no background. Once this is done, the background will appear as a checkered pattern. Make your gif, crop it the necessary way. Then when your saving it, save it as a Gif 128 Dithered. Make sure you have the best quality settings for a crisp image. I hope this helps you

I don't like it; it's the worst signature here. (size killed it)

Edit: BTW, unless everyone here is blind I'm sure they've all seen it.

Why GIF128?  Why not 256, 64, 32, or adaptive?

I prefer no dither for a lot of work, too, because the dithering sometimes messes up a textured background.  It depends on the situation.

I'd say so.  You can always try optical illusions :-) Here is one I made.  http://www.fghost.net/tim/optical.jpg (http://www.fghost.net/tim/optical.jpg)

The flashing thing is a good idea, but its not a Photoshop Idea.  You can also try making a checker board with black and white small boxes.

Hope I helped :)
