How do you Create/ Save .GIF Files?

LinaLoN · Post by **LinaLoN** » Mon Oct 10, 2005 9:36 pm

There are a couple of new Saiyuki gengas that I would LOVE to make a .gif file for to show the layers in action... and for personal entertainment values (can't get enough of Sanzo tripping Gojyo and Gojyo landing with a "splat"). Does anyone have any idea as to how to create a gif file and save it so that I can upload it online? I would appreciate help in this. Thanks!

I recently found out how to do it so if you want you could send me the pics and i could do it for you or if you want to learn it by yourself you can always search tutorials online.

its easy, nothin but frames. just if its a long framed animation it can get teidious. anyways, do you have paint shop? that should have a gif animator program with it if you do.

Once saved you can up-load it to your Rs gallery from your desktop. I've placed some of mine in the second sketch space.

Good luck with your project! I'll keep an eye out for your posting! Saiyuki sketches make great gif

Thanks for the responses! Yes, I do have Paint but not Photoshop and I have no idea how to come across making the frames from there. I'm computer illiterate I'm lucky I can get online and can put my Rubberslug gallery up. It took me three years to get my fanfic site up and running which is still under construction!

I use an old shareware (yes, I admit it's not registered - I'm a bad girl!) version of GIF Construction set. The only problems I've ever had with it are color palette issues.
