The secrets on how to make artwork of the Sam/Jack ship family thread

[RepliCartertje]

Good for you Have you got CS3 or CS4? I'm on CS3, but Jann and Jasmina have CS4. If you need any help, just holler

I got CS3 too but mine is on a mac and there is some difference in the shortcuts... oh and I also have CS2 on Amb's computer

[Oma-1]

We've lost another one! *grabs Oma and holds her tight*

*hugs Josi back* I'm sticking with my Gimp

I had a brief flirtation with almost thinking about getting CS4 - until my bro-in-law said his is for Mac



Sarai - was it a problem with loading GAP in the first place (cos the original version is written in Linux and you need to use a Windows downloader for it), or with getting Gimp to recognise it?


Edit: But since you've gone over to the dark side, I guess it doesn't matter

Edit2: So is it just me josi and lj now?

No, with getting gimp to recognise it. Just no dice on that one, I'm wondering if it is because it's version 2.6?

EDIT: Well I haven't really figured out what I'm doing with PS yet! I might find I don't like it and come running back to Gimp

Tbh, it was only a matter of time since I need it for a couple of my projects

So between us all we'll get Sarai PSing in no time

*waves to Josiane and Oma* Don't worry ladies, I still have great respect for Gimp and everything you all produce with it

I'm sure you can help. My housemate has it on mac and she's already shown me quite a lot on it that can translate to my PC version

It could well be....that really sucks. Although.....I don't think I've made a gif since I dl'd 2.6....maybe the D/V one....I'm not really sure Must try to find time to check it still works!

I just use the animation filter when I want to make a GIF. Seems to work OK.

Hey! Call me crazy and you won't get the tut, little miss! *eyes Sarai* But since I've already made the sceen caps I'll do it for any other people on the thread who aren't calling me crazy *cough*spanner gurl*cough*

First, the animation filter is under filters. Optimize (for GIF). I'm not sure what exactly that does, but I do it anyway.

Spoiler:

Once you've got your image optimized, you can do a playback to see how it looks...make sure none of your layers are off center or anything. This playback will be quicker than what you want in the end, probably, but there's a way to fix that later.

Spoiler:

Next, you need to save. Don't forget to save with a .gif file extension. You'll get something like this:

Spoiler:

Click "save as animation"

Then, you'll get this:

Spoiler:

This is where you can mess with how long your frames stay up. My Joe GIF that I did last week had 250 milliseconds for every frame.

And you're done. Load it to PB and enjoy!
