O'Shea Film God Posts: 3977 From: Midland Ontario Canada (where Panavision & IMAX lenses come from) Registered: Jun 2002 posted 01-27-2003 08:03 PM                        I'll sell you a license for Microsoft 2000 Data Center Server and throw in an Adobe PhotoShop license for free.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-27-2003 08:28 PM                        I fing animated GIF files incredible annoying. Thank God I can turn them off! I just leave them off, in fact. I may have thought they were cool in the 7th grade, though.  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

I found me a new toy. Thanks, Adam.  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-27-2003 09:34 PM                     I am not interested in server software as I had been wanting to buy a copy of Adobe and found I didn't want it that bad due to the price. So what makes it better than any other graphics program?  |  IP: Logged Matthew Peters Expert Film Handler Posts: 179 From: Glen Waverley, Melbourne, Australia Registered: Nov 2002 posted 01-27-2003 09:41 PM                     Sam, download Jasc Paint Shop Pro - I did (just as good as photoshop if you ask me.)  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-27-2003 11:21 PM                        Someone wanna clue me in as to how to make an animated .gif file? I think it'd be fun to learn at least...you know, when I'm bored.. like now..  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-27-2003 11:35 PM                     Jason, I have spent several hours stumbling through the maze to make them, even though I had a 5-page tutorial which was well-written to follow. The biggest problem I had was getting to know the software (Adobe in this case) to do it. Once you get to know the software, it is not that hard, and practice makes perfect. On the very first post of this thread, there are some links that will direct you to the instructions Adam made. That's what I used step by step. Adam did a very nice job in making the step-by-step instructions. Download them, get plenty of coffee, and sit down and have a ball screwing it up until you get the hang of it. Made it myself.....

Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-28-2003 03:33 AM                     LOL! Now Paul's all nice and clean! To make a smoother animation, use more layers and smaller rotations. ie, 4 layers = 90 degrees, 8 layers = 45 degrees, etc. To use non-90 degree rotations, click Edit > Transform > Rotate to free-rotate or Edit > Transform > Numeric to type in a specific degree to rotate.  |  IP: Logged Matthew Peters Expert Film Handler Posts: 179 From: Glen Waverley, Melbourne, Australia Registered: Nov 2002 posted 01-28-2003 03:38 AM                     There are only three layers, 1. PTR's and wall 2. Paul's head 3. Return Film Path If I make it any more smooth and (I can make it very well) The size Exceeds 200k  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

I was talking about Paul's rotating thingies.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-28-2003 09:16 AM                     quote: LOL!

Or is it the same thing? Nevermind, I went to the Adobe website and found out. I downloaded the trail version of elements to see if I like it.  |  IP: Logged Paul Linfesty Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1383 From: Bakersfield, CA, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 01-28-2003 01:24 PM                     Photoshop elements is basically a stripped-down version with some of the more elementary components included. I'm not sure where it fits in with Photoshop LE (below or above).  |  IP: Logged
