animated .GIF images

[WookieLord]

I've always wondered; how do you create those 'animated' .GIF avatars? I've searched quite a bit on the web, and can't find out how to make them anywhere. Can anybody give me a clue?

You'll need to find a *.gif making program. You'll import your pictures and then you can adjust them on a timeline sort-of scale and then control how fast or slow the pictures will transition and then you can save or export them as a *.gif. I use Adobe ImageReady, personally.

Thanks for your help, mustangmatt. Can anyone suggest any freeware .gif making programs?

 

[MustangMatt]

You'll have to search google for gif programs. There usually are some shareware trial versions of something out there.
