Creating an animated GIF image

Hi there, creating an animated gif image requires an image editor with this extra ability. I'd like to share with you a software named Photobie which is an excellent and free image editor but an editor with these capabilities.

Take note, gif images can only be used; animated gif image are comprised of multiple gif images so it should be of the same size; the image should not exceed 256 colors; internet browser can be set so animated images are not seen, if it's disabled, the visitor would only see the starting frame.

Hope I was able to help you in a way. 😀

Creating an animated GIF image

Okay, I'll give you brief instruction on how to use Photobie. Of course, you need to download and install Photobie. First, once the program has been opened, open each of the images you wish to use in your animated image. Next, determine one picture that would be your starting frame and then select the image that will be the next frame.

Click region and select whole image region or press CTRL+A to select the complete image. Next, click Edit and then copy or press CTRL+C to copy the image. Select the picture that you determined to be your starting frame earlier and then click edit and then paste as new layer.

Once all images have been added as layers into the starting image, click GIF_Animation and then Animation Control Panel. Once the animation looks good click the blue diskette icon to save the animation.

Enjoy creating your animated gif image!

Creating an animated GIF image

You can also create an animated image online. Before that you must first have each frame of the animated image you wish to use.

Once you have your images created, visit the http://makeagif.com/ web page and upload each of the images to the web page. This is easier than doing it on Photobie, you'll be provided instructions on doing it.

Have a blessed day!
