My First Animated GIF

Full View for redundant 2-frame animation

After installing Adobe Image Ready CS2 to the VAIO VGN-A690, I decided to get some practice.

It took a while to work my way around the controls, and I've only tapped the first layer of usability in Image Ready.
But still, I finally get to animate something.

Here I cropped down HND - Ageless [link] , edited the pic to create a closed-mouth image, imported into Image Ready, created 2 layers, dulpicated and re-arranged them until I had 6 alternating frames, set each one at 0.5 sec intervals, saved, then gloated at the cheap-ness of it all.
Still gotta work out the fine details like GIF version, image size, timing... etc.


And... uh, yeah. The finger is for anyone who gives me crap about just figuring out how to animate a GIF file TODAY.
In my defense, I do have a life.
