Making Animated .gifs?

<div class="IPBDescription">What to use, and how?</div> I'm looking for a FreeWare program and possibly and simple tutorial that allows me to make animated .gifs. I have PhotoShop 7, and I'm pretty sure it can't make animated .gifs, if it can I'm but a fool... Any help?

    ImageReady, which comes with Photoshop, can make animated gifs.

    Thanks, how do I add a different picture into another frame? I can create a new frame, but it's the same as the frame before it.

    If your still looking for freeware, even if just out of curiosity, the gimp has a fairly decent gif building engine.

    Depends on what you want to do

    You generally just move the layer(s) or hide/unhide the layer(s)

    When I move the layers, all the frames of animation change.

    Shouldn't unless you're doing that on the first frame.

    Well, I click on the second frame and bring over the other layer, which is my next frame of animation on top of the first layer, but everything changed. Am I not editing the second frame correctly?

    if you feel like drawing every frame of the gif by hand, you can use gif movie gear, it works good.

    Don't use adobe products, it is evil and it will turn you evil! I almost exploded from evilness (almost killed my glorious computer) by trying to find a way how to export certain gif. Well, at least on the next day I found it with someones (devils, I guess) help. Those products have too many functions what are not needed, and that makes things impossible to find.

    Use Graphics Gale (it has many functions also, but still better), its not freeware, but still good. But freeware programmes are the best! There are, but I havent got any.

    Hi Liku,

    The best way i have found to make animated gifs with image ready is to same you'r frames in a folder, on say your desktop.

    Then in image ready go to file/import/frame from folder

    Im using the CS version of image ready but i'm pritty sure its in version 7 too.

    Regards.
