Animated gif creation...

[lovetriangle]

What do all y'all use to make your ani gif icons? I've been using photoshop just to make my plain ones but the rastered text is hard to read and I'd like to make some animated ones, too. What's out there that's simple, preferable shareware or cheap, that works just for this kind of stuff?

Don't have a clue about the icon software, but I love this icon!

Thanks! It's from the original US movie poster for Lady from Shanghai with Rita Hayworth. :-)

I use Adobe ImageReady... which came with Photoshop. I didn't even know that I had that program for the longest time, but you can get to it by using the "Jump to >" button under "File" in photoshop (at least on my version) Maybe you are like me and have it without even realizing it. It's perfect for making animated GIFS.

How 'bout using a picture of yourself?

Who would wanna see that? Sheesh. I do have one that's a picture of my boobs in a bodice... good enough?

While the masterpiece "Boobs in a Bodice" (http://www.livejournal.com/userpic/47747858/7697025) is indeed exquisite, and would command a good price at Sotheby's, it still leaves viewers wanting more. Perhaps another photo would satisfy your legion of fans.

What part should I photograph next, pray tell? ;-)

For your website, I was just thinking of your face.
