animation

What does one need to make animated gifs? Like, for userpics.

Hmm, that's a lot of money. Maybe I'll just do the art and have someone else string them together for me.

Although they do apparently have a free trial. What's the learning curve like?

Mine is less than stellar, but it's cheap! Microsoft's GIF animator can be used in conjunction with Image Composer to adjust the size. I haven't been thrilled with some of my creations, but oh well. For example, the one I use with this comment came about because I wanted to use "Bones" from Star Trek with a twist on his usual comment, "I'm a doctor, not a mechanic!" But the end product is too fuzzy. I'd like to find better software, but I don't want to pay $300.

And I was going to say "I bet Rivendweller can offer some help on this..." !

Okay, but where do you put the brush?

I knew that would make it animated, but I wasn't sure about the gif part.
