ToonMariner Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 you need to be using a garphics package like photoshop of paintshop pro. this has nothing to do with html or any other code for that matter.The above applications have tools that allwo the creation of animated gif's (which is what you are trying to create).

micah1701 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 also, just so you know - animated gif files are incredibly tacky and when out of style in 1997. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Posts more than 2 minutes old can't be edited... micah1701 seems to be suggesting that using animated gifs for text is not particuarly professional looking.

Intzisa Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Well, regarding this is not an artistic forum, i dont demand an answer but, what is professional lookin? I've seen giffs pretty cool. SHould a macrom Flash be used instead, or smthn?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonMariner Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 you can use what you like - its your site. I f you want to create an animated gif then do so. Flash has the capabaility to look so much better and can be more interactive - but if you can't drive flash then just do what you can.

Jtech Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 its just the .gif can look distorted or have bits of color missing if the image is more than the .gif can handle..,, .gifs have a limit in quality . you could use .png .bmp.jpgas well its more a bit of info than telling u what to do so .. its up to u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intzisa Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 It's wonderful to recieve such feedback, thnk you all!@JtechBut as far as I know, those formats do not support animation. Look at the first post, "spinning 3d" i mean animated 3d letters rolling around.@ardyandkaridoes gimp create small animations like .gif or similar?
