How do you make those pictures that inter-change between different pictures?

I have six little pictures and I want to make a picture where they change between them, like people have on Bebo and facebook etc... How do you do it??How do you make those pictures that inter-change between different pictures?Agreed with Tiana - I couldn't of said it better myself!



Great minds think alike!How do you make those pictures that inter-change between different pictures?you mean GIF... Graphically interchangeable Format, this can be created in Adobe Imageready, my personal favorite. Although making these images can be hard...How do you make those pictures that inter-change between different pictures?You want to make an animated .gif, then, or a movie. (I think these people probably are using some sort of 'widget', so you'd have to ask them specifically what they used, if it's on these certain types of sites though.) If you want to make a movie, you can open up Windows Movie Maker, import the picture files and put them in the media timeline, and it'll change between them. If you want to make a .gif, you'll need a .gif editor, such as Jasc Animation Shop, which is a really cheap one. Then you can import your pictures and set them as frames, add trasitions if you'd like and save it as an animation.



If you have Photoshop CS2 or CS3, it can also save animated .gifs, using layers to create the animation--you'll have to go into the 'windows' menu and open up the Animation toolbar.



I can't be more specific than that unless you actually have an animation program. :) Keep in mind that an animation can get really large in file size, really fast, so keep the amount of frames down so it loads on the internet, and .gifs also only save with 266 colors or something like that... so your pictures won't look really good. They're small, so it should be okay. But yeah, go download a trial of an animation program like Animation Shop, which has an animation wizard and will walk you through creating your animation. :)
