I'm aware that you can use Photoshop to make gifs, as well as GIMP, but I can never really figure out how to do it. And I'd like to try it before I buy any software, just in case I don't like it much.

I use Corel Photo Paint to make gifs, which is a rip off of photoshop I think, so it should be pretty much the same. In CPP you can import multiple images as frames in a "movie", then export them in AVI or GIF format (note: GIF is only 8 bit, so 256 colours only. You might have to convert images to 256 colours before GIF is available as an export option) You should get the option to set transparencies and frame rates before saving too. Experiment with photoshop (if you have it).

Unfortunately it's a commercial product. It comes as a package with Corel Draw and costs hundreds of dollars. I ripped my copy off from work (shhh... its a secret!) But I am certain there are other products that can do it. I will do a bit of research and if I find something I will post back here.

A friend of mine did the same thing for me, she copied Photoshop. xD
I'd worship you if I could get my grimy little paws on Corel. xDD

Hmmm...although I can always use worshippers the package is, like, HUGE and with my crappy dial-up connection it'd take a thousand years to send anywhere. If you have Photoshop, try fiddling with that. I was told Corel is an inferior copy of Photoshop anyway, so you are probably better off with that.

Well thank you for the information! I was just kind of wondering about it... that's all. 3nodding
