Yikes, I am not so smart!!!!
 
I can't do it....waaaaaa waaaaa waaaaaaaa.....my furbabies just looked at me and walked away. I get the avatar created, but it's saving it that isn't working. I saved it as a .gif file, but then what????? Help, help, help. The only good thing that came of this day is the fact that I took my boy dog to a local grooming school for a very inexpensive grooming package ($15) and he looks fab!!!! It must be a mistake. I normally have to regroom both when they get home... :)

Wow, that's great, I just get Joey's nails cut and that's $11.00, glad you like it.

Yes the program should save it as a gif, but you won't always see it moving if you look in one of your files. It depends how you have the actual folder viewing settings. For windows, if I set the settings to "filmstrip" I can see the avatar moving right on my computer page, otherwise it doesn't look like it's moving. You can try uploading it to the test forum to see if it works. Test Forum - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community.

Photoscape should work with it.
Thanks for trying Nancy but it didnt work . I think I will just have to be satisfied with a non moving avatar lol

You are welcome! You did a great job, Josh and Daisy look so cute in your new avatar!

Nancy, thank you for the great instructions! We now having a moving avatar! I'm going to have to experiment with different pictures now - this is kinda fun! :D

Oh, I had a photoscape question for you. I only used it to create this avatar. Will this program be good to crop out extra background stuff so more of the picture is just the subject?

Thanks again!

Yeah, you can use this program to crop the pictures, in fact I like this program better for that then my regular graphic program. Just go to the "editor" part of the program, and you can crop your pictures, add frames and text, if you want to. Save the pictures, and then use those to make the animated gif in the AniGif part of the program.

When you are in the AniGif part of the program, there is an option where you can "stretch" "image full" "paper full" and they will give you a different effect on how your avatar will look. Just click on each one, and you will see how it changes the avatar. Do this with the pictures before you save the avatar. See picture for more information:

Oh, wow, that's nice to know. That really makes a difference in how the avatar looks. Thank you!!!

You are welcome, playing around with those little buttons, can give all sorts of different effects! Your avatar is so much easier to see this way.


For those of you who can't download the program for whatever reason, this site has a free animated gif maker. Just upload the pictures you want to use, and tell them the size. For donating members it's 125 pixels, the largest side, and if square that would be 125 x125, for non-donating members, it's 75 pixels. You can't edit the pictures from the site, but it does group the pictures together in one file. Myspace Animated GIF Generator, Animated GIF Maker.

Here's an example of what you can make at this site. The pictures were already cropped to a square. I just had to set the size, (125x125) an seconds between pictures (2). Click on it to see it move.

Hi Nancy, is there a program I can use with a Mac? I tried downloading the program, but it only works with a windows operating system:confused:
I have adobe photoshop, is there a way to make the flashing avatar with that?
Thanks so much.

There's lots of animated gif programs for the mac, but the problem is most aren't free. I don't know why, but people seem to make things for PC's and give them away for free, not true with the mac though. I posted a few programs in an earlier post, but no one ever told me if any of them work. Here's the quote from an earlier post.

Look for programs that use the word "animations". Anyone knowing of a good program please post in this thread. These are two programs that I have been told that work with the Mac GIMP - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com, and one that sounds more difficult Blender (PowerPC) - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com

If you test these programs out, please let us know what you think of them. I personally would try the GIMP program first.
