Many image programs will make animated graphics.

I like this little program: WWW Gif Animator

get it here: http://stud1.tuwien.ac.at/~e8925005/

It's fine here, BTT http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

I don't know the answer though...

I use PhotoImpact to make animated gifs.(well used to make them)

[NDC]

I use Adobe Photoshop to make all the layers and then animate them in Adobe Image Ready.

NDC,
That's nice...if you got $500+ to spend on Photoshop.

(surely you wouldn't endorse getting Photoshop any other way.???)

Why not borrow one from a friend and just install it? Then you wouldn't have to pay that STEEP price, would you, OutPatient?

It isn't as if he's going to use it for business purposes! http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

[OuTpaTienT]

Well, why not just download it from the newsgroups or from a pirate web site? It's the same thing...it's stealing it.

ahem..... http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

As stated before BTT there are plenty FREEWARE and SHAREWARE programs that will do the trick for you http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

*****amples heres one: http://www.zdnet.com/downloads/stories/info/0,,000DQ5,.html

Are you telling me that YOU have NEVER borrowed a CD from a friend and installed it to your system or installed a program for a friend or family member??? I guess I would be a thief for borrowing the program and be an accomplice for lending it, right??? LOL! http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

I know that you should buy retail software to support the companies that are making it for their further advance in software developement.

But as long as you are not putting it up on a pirate site like WAREZ or selling the CD's to strangers for money profit, I see no crime on lending or borrowing CD's from friends? Do you disagree? http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Whatever. If you don't have the common courtisy to make your email availible to fellow members, then AFAIC you're not a fellow member & don't deserve to be aknowledged. Good day.

[*resolved* kinda. I still think you should let your email be availible, but it is your choice.]

I believe Ms. Administrator asked for this thread to get back on topic gentlemen...

[socalgal]

Ok folks, let's not turn this thread into a debate on legal/illegal/software/warez/piracy. Feel free to start a new thread on the topic.

For the purpose of THIS thread and courtesy to BTT, let's stick to his original topic of this thread, please. Thanks http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

[OuTpaTienT]

NDC, could you make your email availible please.

[HfdWolfPack]

PhotoImpact was only like,$50 at Staples.All I did was was buy it,burn it,and return it.LOL....just kidding

[qball]

What the heck is 'AFAIC'?

Anway, there exist FREE utilities people. I have used the following for years.

As far as the 'sub-topic', Scot Schmidt, (the Extreme Skiing God), once stated;


"When money means nothing, the world will be free again."

I think it means, As Far As I'm Concerned.
