Best program for animated gifs?
 

I'm not bothered if it costs or not, I'm just looking for a good program to make animated gif files with.

Suggestions?

Animation Shop that comes with Paint Shop Pro.

Imageready, comes with Photoshop ver 7.x+

Thanks.

I prefer ImageReady, its just...better...in my opinion :>

I've not tried imageready, but it's probably better than animation shop. However, Corel is still going to rock Adobe hardcore when it comes to painting tools. :D

Learn to use blending modes, then say that.

I'd say Imageready [Photoshop].

image ready ftw

Something free you could use would be:
Unfreez

It's just basically a drag and drop interface, nothing all that fancy.

Second that!

im using Photoshop 7.0
i use Image Ready for pixeling only ^^

I have Image Ready and never knew :O

How do i use it to animate?

lol I've only animated like 4 times and it was with Jasc Animation Shop...I don't recommend it.

You know how to use Google, baby.:fro:

I've always used Animagic.

you animate with some layers

Window/Animation

Omg if i can animate with layers i could create such an awesome battle scene!

Ditto

Explain what you mean by blending modes.

The mode which the layer blends with the other layers.

Paintshop Pro XI has that. (And has had that for some time now.) However, I rarely use that option because when I paint, I'd rather blend colors on one layer, considering that's what you'd have to do if you only had a canvas sitting in front of you.

There's a reason people use computers to paint rather than just paint in a traditional medium. ;)

I know. The only time I really see a need to use layers is when I'm doing something that requires me to use transparencies. (Like when making dust blowing over something, snow or rain effects, making certain things have a negative filtration, or otherwise.)

Id like to know the percentage of Graalian Gats using the Software with a legit licence.

*cough* Ahem, dont count me in..

:frown: I'm not allowed to say.

I don't care to get licenses for things I use offline, and for my own personal use.

Gah, My Photoshop warez is not working.
