Which version of Photoshop is used to create animated GIF?

Also, once created can it be embedded to emails?

Hi

Back are far as Photoshop CS4 up to CC2018 as far as I'm aware

That would depend on the email client I would imagine

[samritis92725890]

Thanks Ged!

It is for my individual usage, so should I have CS6 or Lightroom CC?

[Guest]

Hi

You are no longer able to purchase Photoshop CS6, Photoshop is only available on subscription, so the answer would be Photoshop CC

[samritis92725890]

Thanks!

what is the difference between CC 2018 and light room if both can help to create animated GIF?

[Guest]

You can't create animated gif's in Lightroom as far as I'm aware

[samritis92725890]

Ok, so i can do that in CC 2018?

[Guest]

Yes in Photoshop CC2018

Be aware that Photoshop is a very limited video editor. But you probably don't need advanced features (and the weeks of study to laern how to use them).

You can’t create animated gifs with Lightroom. It is an image database and editor. To combine images and add text you need Photoshop.

Thanks all for your inputs!!

so finally I should have cc 2018?

Ged, it goes way back before then.  In the early days we had ImageReady, which was able to produce frame animations.  We were a little upset when ImageReady was no longer part of Photoshop, but like with so many other updates, the functionality was still there via a different path.

Cheers Trevor never knew that, I'm only a baby in Photoshop years

Why would you have a different version? Adobe don't sell old versions.

[samritis92725890]

So which one I should have?

[Guest]

The Photography Plan would be your best option, it includes Photoshop CC2018 and Lightroom for $9.99/month and all future updates once you have a valid CC subscription

More info

Compare plans | Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan

No use as I can’t create animated gif there

[Guest]

You get Lightroom as part of the Photography Plan which includes Photoshop CC2018, you don't have to install Lightroom or use it.

If you go for the single app purchase it will cost you $20.99/month

So it's cheaper to actually go with the Photography Plan, $9.99/month vs $20.99/month

You said "so finally I should have cc 2018?"

And I replied "Why would you have a different version? Adobe don't sell old versions."

But then you said "So which one I should have?"

You should have cc 2018, which is the version you get from Adobe today, the current version. (Unless a 2019 version appears). That's the one you get, so why would you have anything else? I really don't understand your original question about what version, since you can only buy one version.

[samritis92725890]

Because u didn’t get my question . I will make it more clear now

if I need to create frames in adobe photoshop which. Version I should install as I have no version currently on my laptop

[Guest]

We have already made it clear to you, it's Photoshop CC2018

[samritis92725890]

Thanks

There is no choice to version. When you buy it today (actually, when you subscribe) you get the current version.
