skykilo Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Preface: I'm sorry for being such a geek. I finally learned how to make animated gifs with the GIMP, so here's my first one. It's Ross on the descent from Terror-Rake Col in the Southern Pickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skykilo Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Thanks for the tip. It's my first time, man. The point is that I know how to do it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinfox Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I wanna know how to do that. Do tell. Where can I get the GIMP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skykilo Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 I'll show you. But first, given your motivation, I outdid myself: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skykilo Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 You can get the GIMP at http://www.gimp.org Just open an image, then open the next image you want using 'open as layer,' then when you're done save as gif. Animated will be an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 the gimp is in Sky's basement, under the floorboards, in a deep pit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skykilo Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 I shouldn't have given my knowledge so freely. I fought long and hard for that knowledge, you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra_Commander Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 The gimp is a quality program for free. Using it gives you some unix street cred too, though it is much easier to use than it used to be. Those who put it on the same tier as Photoshop are full of it though.

Alpinfox Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Can you make animated GIFs with photoshop too? -Ig'nant Fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra_Commander Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 You can with ImageReady, a program that comes with Photoshop these days. The Photoshop/ImageReady combo is pretty much overkill for cranking out little animated gifs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrogdortheBurninator Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 My current avatar was actually just me playing with a gif/morph shareware that I found. This was my project that night, but I was never happy with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsimmons Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 all of my animated gifs are compiled on a special linux kernel that Linus Torvalds sent me. Where is the animated gif of exit 38 wyatt trash with shotgun on the motorcycle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skykilo Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 If only I had more pictures of Ross turning left. Clearly he got GIMPed... Looks like he's doing a some kinda power slide like Shane McConkey on water skis or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animated gifs - is this what they work on at Los Alamos these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
