Title: Animated .gifs
Post by: HurricaneAndrew on August 24, 2009, 05:24:30 PM: What software do I need to use to make an animated .gif image?

I have Photoshop 7.0 and PhotoImpression 5. Can I use either of these to make one? If so, how?

its free, get Pivot here: http://pivot-stickfigure-animator.en.softonic.com/

Post by: JoeBlo on August 24, 2009, 06:40:23 PM: Macromedia/ Adobe Flash (Macromedia Flash 8 is the best imo but CS4 is ment to be quite good) it might start out complicated but its really powerful if you get the hang of it.. I make my sig/ avatar with it

also for animations that you just want to flick through images I use easy gif animator :-D

both you have to buy but both worth the money

Post by: HurricaneAndrew on September 03, 2009, 11:12:24 PM: Well, I have figured out that I have Adobe ImageReady, which is apparently an animation program...

Now I just need to figure out how to work the thing.

Isn't Flash 400 dollars? That's kinda extreme for just making pictures. Movies and games I can see it, but still...
