Ta Ask Tony.   johnreid It is in the Software James, there are programs that do that. I think one came with the photo editing software I have, but to be honest I havent tried it too much. Tony is probably the best one to ask. Or Google for Animation Creation Software James Thanks guys!! Tony??   Les James wrote: Thanks guys!!

Ta Basically, you combine the two into an animated GIF format. You can have more than two if you like so that it ends up like a mini video clip. Some picture editing packages will do it - not mine, unfortunately (Paint Shop Pro). I don't know about the more common Photoshop. Alternatively, I suppose you could insert some Java code in the HTML to do it. James Thanks Roly, but I haven't a clue what you just spoke about   When it comes to computers, I'm very limited   Roly Williams I just realised you must know all about animated GIFs because your flag is one James Ahh, but MC_MC did that for me   MooseMan Jimbo, email me the two pictures and I'll sort it for you mate. James Thanks mate!!   You're a leg-end   V8Nick Re: Need a hand Roly Williams wrote: not mine, unfortunately (Paint Shop Pro). I thought PSP came with animation shop attached? Have a look under... FILE>    JASC SOFTWARE PRODUCTS>        LAUNCH ANIMATION SHOP johnreid I have Paint shop Pro 7 ( and later versions that I dont like as much ) and Animation Shop came with it. I have used it to grap one frame from an animated gif. I never really tried to make any but know that all of the pictures have to be the same size. mc_mc I use Paint Shop Pro 6 too (nine years old now!), it came free on a cover disk with a magazine.   That contains anim.exe in the same directory that lets you make animated gif files. But for the animated flag I had to use a Photoshop plugin that I found on the internet. Roly Williams I have PSP 7 but I don't remember seeing the animator. Maybe that was an option I didn't install. I'll have to dig out the original instalation disk if I can find it. tmuir This is the program I used for EOTM as I had removed a lot of my software of my PC and couldn't be bothered finding the disks so got this little free software for doing animated gifs. Its very basic but the price is right.   Here it is in a zip file without the help files. Click to download file It is free were. See the wiki here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_GIF_Animator or to download the whole program go here http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/13212 Roly Williams Thanks for posting that Tony. It looks a usefull little program and, as you say, the price is right I found the PSP Animator but this looks simpler and good enough for most purposes.        The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum Forum Index -> Off topic board Page 1 of 1
