This tutorial is in the can, as it were. Gone to press, done, fini... And so on. It was a fun one!
Yes, the time on it is correct. I was working in the wee hours of the morning to get it ready for posting. It was a request by a viewer, so I wanted to get it done as soon as possible.
O' course, technology always tosses a wee wrench in the machine. I'm learning to frequently save my work in prep for software crashes. Of which, I only had a couple!
Now, before anyone says anything (not that I expect anyone to, but just in case), I do realize there are likely even better and more "pro" ways to get the GIF-making job done. Me, I improvise and figure out what makes sense to me, that I can somehow relay to others. I hope it makes sense to everyone else, too!
It's funny... I never thought I'd be making animated GIFs again. It seems though, Tumblr has made them popular again. And maybe other sites, as well. For me, it was MySpace, back in its heyday.
Making an animated GIF back then, the MySpace days, was pretty exciting. A person who did this didn't have to rely on those sites where you have to copy code and paste it to get the image. It's nice being able to create your own stuff. And now, with today's software, it's so much simpler!
The first time I tried Photoshop Elements 7.0, I was discouraged. I wasn't sure it even made animations. But, it does. And it's pretty awesome.
Now, on to the next project.
I've got some new software coming. An update to Serif's WebPlus X4 I've been using. I had skipped the X5 version, since there wasn't much that I needed in it, and I'd heard it was a bit buggy.
Now, WebPlus X6 is out! I'm looking forward to the new features. One being the ability to create a website for mobile phone viewing as well as the full-sized site. This should be fun!
In the days to come, there'll no doubt be mention of the new software as I test out its stuff.
More later~~
Enjoy~~~
