If you give Villette your e-mail address she'll send you her program (ULEAD GIF Animator). For some reason my computer was stupid and I couldn't get it open, so I did a web search and found a free 15-day trial download.
You need to have your photos cropped and sized before you import them - (I use Photo Impression to crop and Irfanview to re-size). Once you open the ULEAD program there is a animator wizard that allows you set the default pixel size (125x125 for donating YT members, 75x75 for non-donating members) and you proceed to import the photos you want to use - you can generally use 4 to 5. You can add text like I did right to the photo unanimated, or you can add another frame with animation to your text. If you add the animated text, you'll need to go down to 2-3 photos cause it takes up lots of space. It took me a while to get the file small enough, but as long as your photos are ready to go, you can do this in about 10 minutes.
Try it, the worst that can happen is you don't like it and don't use it!! Since I'm sure I'm not the only one who has lots of favorite photos, once you know how to do this, you can change your avatar regularly to display those photos!!!! Good luck. |
